Violinist Giancarlo Latta, joined by pianist Robert Fleitz, presents A Dance of Life: Violin Music of the AIDS Era, a recital program that revives an important but neglected repertoire of works for violin and piano by composers who died during the AIDS crisis. Co-presented with ChamberQUEER and the New York City AIDS Memorial at downtown Manhattan’s Greenwich House Music School, this program brings together seven outstanding compositions written between 1975 and 1991, many of which have gone unrecorded and generally unperformed over the past several decades. Two larger-scale showcase works – Robert Savage’s Rhapsody and Meditation and Louis Weingarden’s Sonata: Les Violons du Bal – sit at the center of the performance, alongside a new transcription for violin and piano of Chris DeBlasio’s Serenade for Violin and Organ, Michael Seyfrit’s A Dance of Life, and shorter works by Charles Buel, Yvar Mikhashoff, and Robert Nofsinger. 

Tickets to this one-night-only performance are free and advance RSVPs are strongly recommended.
