Northwest BachFest: Corazon, Music of Latin America

It’s a common saying: “Music touches the heart.” That phrase may be more pertinent and true for anyone attending the last of 2024’s Northwest BachFest shows this weekend. Titled “Corazón” meaning “heart” in Spanish, the two shows feature cellist John Henry Crawford and Victor Santiago Asuncion on piano playing music from Latin America, including “Le Grand Tango” by Astor Piazzolla, “Pampamapa” by Carlos Guastavino and Marlos Nobre’s “Poema III.” The two local performances have the same program, so head to one or both to get your fix of beautiful Latin music performed by talented musicians that’s sure to warm your corazón.
