Remarkable Theater Brigade Excerpts Tania León's 'Scourge of Hyacinths' at Carnegie Hall Oct. 1

[Tania León]

The website of Tania León, http://www.tanialeon.com/, provides this critique of Scourge of Hyacinths, which will be excerpted at New York's Weill Recital Hall of Carnegie Hall by the Remarkable Theater Brigade on October 1, 2010:

"Aboundingly earthy, rhythmic and embellished by deeply moving nostalgia, [Scourge of Hyacinths] stands at the crossroads of every musical emotion. The constant pulsation and incessant murmur that seethes under the pure lines of song weave these different genres into magnificent bouquets.... The direction by Robert Wilson creates a distance which, far from chilling the intention, makes it incandescent." – Tribune de Genève [Tania Justina León (b. 1943) is an Afro-Cuban composer, conductor and professor of contemporary concert music.
