The next [and last] concert in the 2010-2011 season


The Angel of SFEMS

The San Francisco Early Music Society

presents


Hopkinson Smith

—De los Castillos y Calles de España—

Spanish guitar music of the 17th Century

Hopkinson Smith’s recordings of these works are winners of the Diapasons d’Or

This program will feature music by Francesco Guerau and Antonio de Santa Cruz but will focus primarily on the colorful and immediately accessible figure of Gaspar Sanz. Sanz wrote sophisticated Passacalles and beautiful variation sets for the 5-course guitar, but the real charm of his collection lies in his lighter popular-inspired dances and character pieces. These reflect a broad spectrum of Spanish traditions ranging from evocative tunes with the simplest of accompaniments to stunning settings with driving rhythm and an unmistakably Iberian flavor.

Friday, April 15, First Lutheran Church, 600 Homer Street at Webster, Palo Alto, 8:00

Saturday, April 16, St. John's Presbyterian Church, 2727 College at Garber, Berkeley, 7:30

Sunday, April 17, St. Mark's Lutheran Church, 1111 O'Farrell Street, San Francisco, 4:00
