FLUTE & ORCHESTRA
WORKS DEDICATED TO
Alejandro Escuer
The flute and orchestra repertoire of the American continent has been enriched and expanded extraordinarily thanks to the initiative and vision of Mexican flute virtuoso Alejandro Escuer, who is the dedicatee of incredible new pieces such as Altar de Viento (2015) by Gabriela Ortiz (México 1964), or Tetracrómatas composed in 2015 by Enrico Chapela (México 1974) -Boosey and Hawkes, Concierto Son by Arturo Márquez (Mexico 1950), Flow (2019) by David Dzubay (US, 1964) and several other pieces that have been premiered or are yet to be premiered in the next seasons. Los Angeles Philharmonic will feature Alejandro as a soloist for the premiere of Alejandro Cardona´s Hacha de Trueno, a commissioned work by the LAPhil in 2021.
The soloist has chosen “music to be discovered,” composers of exceptional originality and contemporary expressiveness, a fact that has had a strong impact among general audiences and experts. And this is so, because Alejandro´s approach to music making is related to expand the listener´s experience through repertoire that brings human or social aspects of life that can be moving, passionate, intense, tangible and audible in the concert hall.
