Christopher Teves will treat us to a traditional classical repertoire including the Bach Fugue form BWV1001 and Fernando Sor’s Introduction and Variations on a Theme by Mozart along with some pieces from the Spanish and Latin repertoire. He’ll play Spanish pieces by Francisco Tarrega- Recuerdos de Alhambra and Isaac Albeniz- Asturias as well as Latin works by Heitor Villa Lobos and Augustin Barrios. He will also plan to include his own composition Maria Cristina, inspired by a return trip to the Philippines, where he lived until he was 9.
