The program explores the rich legacy of Chiquinha Gonzaga, alongside works by Alberto Williams, Heitor Villa-Lobos, and Clarice Assad, highlighting the diverse rhythms and influences of Latin American classical music.

Soprano Hannah Shanefield returns as featured soloist, performing Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5, one of Villa-Lobos’s most beloved works.
