Curtis Institute harpist collaborates on the upcoming premiere of Ricardo Lorenz’ new concerto for harp and chamber orchestra
“I often hear this phrase, ‘classical music is dead,'” Cárdenes said. “And it hurts me to hear that. I couldn’t disagree more.”
Cárdenes is working on a major project: the premiere of a newly commissioned harp concerto by Venezuelan-born composer Ricardo Lorenz. She hopes to perform the piece sometime next semester.
