About
Back by popular demand after a sold-out season, Chilean pianist Ricardo Roche Idini returns with an intimate and powerful reimagining of his acclaimed tribute to Violeta Parra. Joined by multi-instrumentalist and composer Alejandro Vargas and the evocative voice of Tash Vargas, this compelling performance draws audiences into the heart of Chile’s cultural and political legacy. Now with the stirring music of Victor Jara woven alongside Parra’s, the program offers a condensed yet deeply affecting journey through song, poetry, and protest. Featuring a breathtaking arrangement of Canto para una Semilla for piano and two voices, this evening celebrates the resilience, artistry, and spirit of a nation through haunting melodies and heartfelt storytelling.
