Gilded Harps Concert: "Arpa en clave"

Join The Gilded Harps in concert. This is a project designed with arrangements and original music between classical and popular themes, with the idea of presenting a soundscape around Latin America. Cesar Secundino, playing the pedal harp, will show some of the different typical rhythms of Latin America, such as tango, bossa, samba, bambuco, guajira, songo, among others.

 

Cesar Secundino of “Gilded Harps” is a Mexican harpist, arranger and composer.  He has performed at important concert halls internationally. Cesar has been awarded prizes at many international harp competitions in Mexico, Spain, France, Wales, Germany and the Netherlands. He was the first Grand Prize winner at The 1st World Harp Competition in Utrecht, the Netherlands, in 2018. His passion for jazz and world music has led him to write arrangements and compositions that have been premiered and celebrated by renowned musicians around the world. He is currently professor in the string department at Berklee College of Music, in Boston.
