One night only, on an international tour, concert pianist Nicole Brancato makes her San Miguel debut in an intimate solo program, connecting artist Salvador Dalí, poet Federico García Lorca and composer George Crumb. Featuring a French surrealist film by Germaine Dulac and poems by Lorca, the experience includes music by Henry Cowell, Dane Rudhyar, Mary Prescott, Luciano Berio, Greg Hammontree, and by Nicole herself. Nothing quite like Harmony of the Spheres has ever been presented in San Miguel.
Described as “brilliant” and an “immense talent” (New York magazine and Connect Savannah), Brancato has taken her original music-making from the Guggenheim Museum and Rai Italia (Italy’s national TV network) to the Banff Centre and underground performances in Brooklyn factories and warehouses. A New York Times music critic equated one of her performances to “a beam of light bouncing off the walls of the theater.”
All Steinway Series concerts are benefits for Libros para Todos, the nonprofit reading initiative for children from low-income Mexican families.
