Nomad and Native | Cultural intersections, displacement, and identity

We explore the music of migration, memory, and belonging. Gabriela Lena Frank’s Elegía Andina honors her Andean roots with vibrant colors and lyricism. Prokofiev’s lyrical second violin concerto, written during his years abroad, reflects on Russia—old and new—through the lens of Western Europe. And Falla’s El Amor Brujo fuses flamenco, folklore, and ritual into a dramatic portrait of haunted love and release.
