So says the acclaimed musician, who is directing the evening\u2019s program.<\/p>\n<p>The concert promises a fascinating journey through Romeu\u2019s musical universe, says Falc\u00f3n, who will be joined by maestro Javier Zalba on flute, violinist Brenda Ch\u00e1vez, double bassist Pedro Pablo Guti\u00e9rrez, percussionist Yandy Chang, and the Alma Strings Quartet, led by Amaya Justiz. A string quartet will add an exquisite, intimate and deeply Cuban sonic texture to the program.<\/p>\n<p>The evening will feature some of the cornerstone danzones of Antonio Mar\u00eda Romeu\u2019s repertoire, selected from among his most important works, as well as compositions by Falc\u00f3n inspired by Romeu\u2019s legacy, including <strong>Canci\u00f3n para Romeu<\/strong>, arranged for string quartet and piano. The program will also include the danz\u00f3n <strong>Romeu el Grande<\/strong>, along with other contemporary compositions that engage in dialogue with the danz\u00f3n tradition and with the influence of the musician who revolutionized Cuban music by introducing the piano into the charanga-style orchestra for the first time in the early 20th century.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a bridge between tradition and contemporary music, between the history of the danz\u00f3n and today\u2019s sensibility,\u201d Alejandro Falc\u00f3n adds. \u201cAbove all, it is a heartfelt tribute\u2014with strings, winds, percussion and piano\u2014to an immortal creator.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Translated by Luis E.
