“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.
