Iliana Matos plays El Arpa del Guerrero from The Black Decameron by Leo Brouwer (b.1939). This comes via her YouTube channel and a virtual performance at the University of Minnesota, School of Music on December 11, 2020. Crisp and clean with excellent phrasing by Matos. A world-class performer, she currently teaches at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada. I’m so curious what brought her to Western Canada!
