Fiesta! with Elbio Barilari
Exploring Music
Guest conductor James Gaffigan and principal percussionist Cynthia Yeh join forces for Eternal Rhythm by the Israeli-American composer Avner Dorman. Yeh performs the 25-minute concerto on vibraphone, marimba, glockenspiel, bells, and crotales (tuned cymbals).
In the late 15th-early 16th centuries, Spain’s Ferdinand and Isabella exiled their country’s Jewish community. The Sephardic Jews scattered around the Mediterranean Sea and made their way to the Western Hemisphere. Elbio brings us some distinctive Sephardic music.
Gypsy, Romany, Gitana, Roma: the descriptive names for this ancient people vary. Host Bill McGlaughlin looks at the influence the music of the Roma has had on a variety of composers.
