The San Diego chamber music ensemble’s upcoming concerts will honor female composers, Mexican and Latin-American music, including tango
Camarada will cap off its 2022-23 season with an intercontinental bang, by showcasing female composers, exploring mariachi and danzón music and touring Argentina for two weeks.
A British-American violist, Clarke was one of the first females to become a professional orchestral player. Clarke’s compositions became popular shortly before her death in 1979, but then were forgotten. Cécile Chaminade, born in Paris in 1857, wrote hundreds of pieces and enjoyed success for a short time, but died in obscurity.
“It’s exciting for us to work collaboratively with our nonprofit partners,” said Lisa Barnhouse, Camarada’s executive director. “Our artists, venues, and audiences are committed to keeping performing arts a vital part of San Diego’s cultural scene.” There will also be a special version of Piazzolla’s classic piece, “Oblivion,” arranged by Andrés Martín, a frequent Camarada collaborator and sought-after composer. He will play double bass with the ensemble at that concert.
Camarada’s last concert of the season, “Over the Rainbow,” will find the ensemble taking yet another form. On May 4 at the Mingei, Ross Buckley will perform with San Diego jazz luminaries Holly Hofmann and Mike Wofford and a top-notch rhythm section. “Andrés’ pieces are very influenced by Piazzolla — the ultimate Tango Nuevo,” Ross Buckley said. “Andrés is an amazing composer and Camarada is committed to getting his music out there. We are planning an East Coast tour in September.”
