The Alturas Duo has been recognized as one of the most engaging ensembles performing in the chamber music world today. The only group of its kind, the Duo was formed with the idea of playing South American and classical music by bringing together the unusual combination of the viola, charango and guitar. Hugo Gonzales, a Chilean Fok Singer , who was ordained in Chile as a Roman Catholic priest and is now a social worker, will join the duo reading from Pablo Neruda's work and sing Chilean Follk Songs.
The event, a presentation to the course Introduction to Music of Non-western Cultures, will take place on Tuesday April 15 in Music 102 at 12:45 p.m.
