Metropolitan Youth Symphony performs El Niño de Isabel by Bernardo Quesada

Performed by the MYS Symphony Orchestra for the MYS Spring Concert, March 13, 2021. Program Notes: My piece is a story about the continuity of bloodline. It’s a tribute to the memory that I have inherited from an 18th century Frenchman who, after fighting in the Franco-Prussian War, arrived in the American continent and had a daughter with a native Guatemalan. This man and his daughter migrated to Costa Rica after losing his wife. In this Central-American country, the daughter met a man from Catalunya (northeastern Spain), who was fleeing the horrors of the Spanish Civil War. From this union came Isabel, my father’s mother, and it is to them that I dedicate this piece of music, which will reach the eyes and fingers of musicians who might not understand my native tongue, but they speak my language: music. ‘We are light from the same spiral’.
