Puerto Rico in 176 Keys…  A Washington, DC première!
In commemoration of Hispanic Heritage Month, José Ramos Santana and José Cáceres will be joining forces in a two-piano recital at the West Garden Court of the National Gallery of Art on Sunday, October 6 at 6:30 pm.

Entitled Puerto Rico in 176 Keys, this program is devoted exclusively to two-piano music by Puerto Rican composers, the first time a program with this repertoire has ever been presented in Washington, DC.  Composers include Juan Morel Campos, Jack Délano, Narciso Figueroa, and Héctor Campos Parsi.

Concert is free of charge; seating is first-come, first served.  October is an incredibly busy special events season at the National Gallery of Art, so we advise you to arrive early.
