Framingham, MA — Mezzo-soprano Fanny Lora invites the community to experience Through My Eyes: Sounds of the Americas at the Framingham Public Library on Sunday, October 5th at 3:00 PM. This program is supported by the Framingham Cultural Council, a local agency funded by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
An award-winning project, Through My Eyes was previously presented at Berklee College of Music. The program highlights the rich classical repertoire of women composers from Colombia, Argentina, and Cuba, alongside a powerful song cycle by Boston-based composer Omar Najmi, featuring texts by Dominican-American poet Alondra Bobadilla.
Ms. Lora will be joined by acclaimed pianist Alexandra Lutkevich, whose artistry has been central to bringing this music to life.
This finale performance of the tour offers the Massachusetts community a rare opportunity to discover underrepresented classical works by women composers of Hispanic heritage. The event is free and open to the public, and all are warmly encouraged to bring friends and family. More information about the program, recordings, and reviews can be found at www.FannyLora.com/throughmyeyes.
Praise for Through My Eyes
“Through My Eyes was a stunning introduction to the work of several Latin American composers who I am now eager to get to know more about. The music ranged from contemplative to macabre to get-up-and-dance fun, and EVERY moment of music was imbued with a fully physicalized performance from Fanny. Drawing, I can only assume, from her Alexander work, some of the songs were expressed through abstract body motion that reflected the mood and the music, and some of the songs were staged like mini opera scenas…”
— Omar Najmi, performer/composer
