Music of the Americas: 2022 Fall Concerts
Music of the Americas: 2022 Fall Concerts
Join Americas Society for the start of the 2022–2023 season, including conversations, early music, and premieres.
The 2022–2023 season of the MetLife Foundation Music of the Americas Concert Series starts live in New York City and Washington and online.
The season will be hybrid, with live concerts presented in New York (and one in Washington DC) followed by the release of video versions of the events, which will be available during the season and remain online for later viewing.
Concerts will include the premieres of two new chamber pieces by Stephanie Griffin and Gabriel Bouche Caro, of Rita Indiana's latest project, Tu nombre verdadero, and of the Guaraní opera Ñomongeta in New York and Washington DC. We will release Wilfrido Terrazas' latest experimental music CD, present Haitian baritone Jean-Bernard Cerin's work on Caribbean baroque music and beyond, and we are happy to collaborate with Mexico NOW again after several years.
Brazilian musicians will be on our stage throughout the season in celebration of the country's bicentennial. The series starts with with a conversation with the leadership team of the Orquestra Sinfônica de São Paulo about their Carnegie Hall concert on October 15, the São Paulo Chamber Soloists in a program of Brazilian classics and new works, and Antonio Meneses in recital with guitarist Paul Galbraith.
En Casa and Recuerdos also continue.
