Mañalac Piano Duo

The Mañalac Piano Duo presents a recital of music with forward-looking takes on historical and national musical styles and composers. Beginning with the French composer Ravel as he explored his Basque roots, through the music and dance traditions of Spain, then moving to American opera composer Margaret Garwood, whose Suite for piano duet pays witty homage to three composers (two European and one South American) – Prokofiev, Ravel, and Ginastera. The program closes with Logan Skelton’s setting of seven American folk songs, from simple lullabies to rollicking dances – and featuring an unusual piano technique in the finale!
