Pianist Jacqueline Schwab plays the fetching, rhythmically captivating repertoire that propelled Latin American piano music into the hearts and consciousnesses of five generations of music lovers. Out of Nazareth emerged Joplin's piano rags. The others contributed to the tsunami of tango and popular South American music that swept across the Americas, Europe, and the world for a century. Naïve beauty, profound harmonic sophistication, propulsive rhythms of surprising subtlety — this music has it all. You already know Jacqueline Schwab from the scores of the films by Ken Burns. Hear what this astonishing musical poet says on her own, on this, her first return recital for Music Matters.

Join us online on Saturday afternoon, December 12, 2020, to experience fresh, vibrant pianism, an entire continent's homage to Latin dance, and irresistible compositions whose sultry appeal stays with us a long, long time.
