Valley of the Moon Music Festival

Schedule:

4:00 pm - 6:00 pm: Pianist, Singer, Composer: Teresa Carreño at Hanna Boys Center
Known to her adoring fans as the "Valkyrie of the piano," Venezuelan pianist, composer, and opera star Teresa Carreño (1853-1917) stunned audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. Like Cuban violinist-composer José White, Carreño received support from American composer Louis Gottschalk in New York City, and concertized widely in Europe, before returning to America, and then to Venezuela, where she attempted to found a conservatory and opera company. This program weaves together the rich tapestry of Carreño’s life and influence, featuring her works alongside those of her teachers, friends, and students, and even a husband.
