“The Song of Creation” (pictured) is a painting by San
Francisco-based artist Tino Rodriguez, and serves as the main
inspiration for the concerto featured on this program by Juan
Sebastián Cardona Ospina, titled “Eyes to Look Otherwise.” The
concerto is dedicated to the featured soloist, saxophonist
Michael Hernandez. Hernandez commissioned the work as part of
his “Latinx Storytellers” project.
