The Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra is coming to Long Beach on Saturday for a special performance honoring queer and Latin American culture.
The chamber program, titled CURRENT: [inti]mate, will be held at the Museum of Latin American Art at 7:30 p.m.
Curated by New York-based composer inti figgis-vizueta in collaboration with MOLAA, the show will feature “boundary-pushing” music from the Latin American diaspora, including works by Pulitzer Prize winner Tania León, Angélica Negrón and many others.
Tickets range from $20 to $35 for general admission and $50 for a cabaret seat and drink ticket. Click here to buy tickets and for more information.
Composer figgis-vizueta was recently featured in the Washington Post and writes music that deals with personal identities, immigrant communities, Black-founded freedom schools, Andean and Irish heritage as well as trans and Indigenous stories, among others. The concert will also spotlight a world premiere from her.
