Mark Hilliard Wilson: The Camino Concerts Continued
Free
Joaquín Rodrigo — Selected works
Antonio Ruiz-Pipo — Selected works
In the summer of 2014 Mark Wilson was invited by the arts organization Camino Artes to play a series of concerts along the Camino de Santiago de Compostela, an 800 year old pilgrimage route in northern Spain. Upon returning to the US, he began to document the music he played while in Spain and also wrote a series of pieces for guitar orchestra reflecting on the experiences of 200 year old Roman roads and ruins, lost cathedrals from the 16th century, amazing food and wine of the Castille y Leon region, the sense of eternity on the wind swept meseta, and the stories of wonder and triumph from the pilgrims of the Camino.
His new CD En Sueño de Camino is the fruit of this endeavor. At this concert you can hear music he carefully curated to reflect the region, history, and culture of the Northern Spain, with music by Joaquin Rodrigo and Antonio Ruiz Pipo, along with new recordings of his own arrangements of the music of Astor Piazzolla.
