Fonema Consort showcases a diverse range of musical aesthetics in the music of six Hispanic composers based in Chicago. Almost a century after the legendary Silvestre Revueltas lived on Michigan Avenue, the city continues to attract composers from Spain and Latin America who exhibit different sensibilities and backgrounds. From English, French, and Spanish texts to instrumental speech imitation inspired by Swedish, as well as totally abstract sound, these works offer a taste of current musical trends. Beyond nationalist stereotypes and expectations, this concert presents "other musics".
