Albatros: Un Viaje por el Realismo Mágico de México
A Journey through Mexican Magical Realism
Eduardo Angulo's Albatros, para flauta y cuarteto de cuerdas (Albatross, for flute and string quartet) was commissioned by flutist Miguel Angel Villanueva in 2017 and gifted to Alhelí Pimienta and the Venuti String Quartet in 2022 to perform its world premiere at the Canadian Opera Company. Eduardo Angulo is one of the most celebrated composers in Mexico today, and he has written numerous works for flute, including eight concertos for flute and orchestra. This three-movement work is brilliantly orchestrated in a Mexican Magic Realism style, which one might analogize as a Western neo-Romantic-Impressionist style. Sit, listen and enjoy as Alhelí Pimienta and the members of the Venuti String Quartet come together for the first time on the COC stage, committed to mentoring their audience through story-telling on the significance of Mexican composers and musicians in the music industry.
