Pieces include Turina’s shimmering "Ciclo Plateresco," Jennifer Higdon’s mesmerizing "Pale Yellow," Aaron Alter’s contemplative "Introspective Blues #1," Andrés Martín’s powerful "Synchronicity". The title piece, Miguel del Águila’s "Submerged" (for flute, cello, and harp), is inspired by Alfonsina Storni's poetry, and it celebrates her life, evoking the quiet, creative depths where artists retreat to dream, reflect, and begin anew. The program culminates in a powerful finale: the unveiling of Hugo Crosthwaite’s 2025 Camarada art commission, inspired by Andrés Martín’s "Tango Bajo el Agua," which will be performed alongside the artwork.
