This recital features works by composers who were involved in concerts promoting American music during the 1930s by the Pan American Association of Composers. Tina has selected music focusing on some of the Latin American composers in this society, Heitor Villa-Lobos (Brazil), Amadeo Roldan (Cuba), Alejandro Garcia Caturla (Cuba) and Carlos Chavez (Mexico). All these composers wrote music that was stylistically linked to their own countries and many consider this effort to be an attempt to break away from European tradition to create an independent musical identity associated with their respective countries.
