Join us for a special evening celebrating the release of Alba: Beyond Borders, a deeply personal and groundbreaking album by acclaimed Venezuelan-American soprano María Brea and Israeli-American pianist Dror Baitel. This event will feature an intimate recital of works from the album, offering a unique opportunity to experience their cross-cultural musical journey live. Following the performance, you are invited to a special reception to celebrate the album's release. Don't miss this opportunity to mingle with María Brea and Dror Baitel, purchase your copy of Alba: Beyond Borders, and have it personally signed.
Alba: Beyond Borders is more than just an album; it's a testament to the power of music to unite diverse cultures and histories. The title itself is a play on words: "Alba" means "dawn" in Spanish, symbolizing renewal and new beginnings, while the phrase "Beyond Borders" speaks to the project's core mission. The album traverses cultural, geographic, and emotional frontiers by bringing together the rich musical traditions of Latin America and the Jewish diaspora. It is a tribute to the historical connection between these two vibrant cultures, a relationship that dates back over 500 years.
Free and open to the public.
