BRAVISSIMO! The BRAVISSIMO! series has one more concert for you! On March 18th Mexico City tenor Ricardo Calderon, winner of several national awards brings a selection of composers from Spain, in his concert.
Con amores...a España. The concert is GRANDIOSE and truly brings the BEST of the BEST of Spain. Ricardo is in his element in these pieces. "With love... to Spain", a journey through the history of the vast Spanish music through zarzuela songs and romances, including a variety of composers and that unique Spanish feeling. A concert with the purpose of reviving Spanish music in the City of Guadalajara and that rescues the great tradition of zarzuela that our country had for many years, with pieces by Falla, Turina, Obradors, Serrano, Guerrero, Chapí, Giménez, among others. Winner of the special prize for tenor "David Portilla" in the 2015 edition of the National Opera Competition "Fanny Anitua, Ricardo was the Scholar of SIVAM for the realization of the Seminar of Zarzuela in its 2017 edition. He has performed as a soloist in the Requiem, Coronation Mass, Davide Penitente and Great Mass by Mozart, Carmina Burana, Stabat Mater by Rossini, Misa Criolla by Ariel Ramirez. He has sung in the major venues of Jalisco, Distrito Federal, and throughout Mexico. He has worked under the baton
of directors, Placido Domingo, Hector Guzman, Francisco Orozco, Nestor Andrenacci and Scott Dunn. Timothy G. Ruff Welch is the collaborative pianist for this concert. He is very excited about this concert and says that this concert is some serious work for him to be prepared to bring you these magnificent pieces! He will, of course - be up to the challenge! Welch is the Maestro of the Coro Municipal de Zapopan, Los Cantantes del Lago and Minister of Music at St. Andrew's Anglican Church. He has performed around the world as a pianist, chorister and director. Most recently he has directed the choruses for Mahler's Symphony #2, Otello and Los Planetas at the Teatro Degollado. In 2017 he was also the guest director for two operas at the Bellas Artes in Mexico City. Tickets for this concert may be purchased individually for 300 Pesos at Diane Pearl Colecciones, Mia's Boutique, or by emailing [email protected]
