Golijov and Souza at Lincoln Center

Lincoln Center is in the midst of a festival of music by composer (and Boston resident) Osvaldo Golijov (our own tribute took place over several performances during the 2003-04 season). His La Pasion Segun San Marcos (The Passion According to St. Mark), commissioned in tribute to J.S. Bach in 2000, received reviews this week from Cafe Aman (the blog of Billboard Magazine classical music critic Anastasia Tsioulcas), The Emory Wheel (by Rachel Zelkowitz), and The New York Times (by Anthony Tommasini).

Among those who have performed La Pasion Segun San Marcos regularly is vocalist Luciana Souza Luciana_romero_sm_7 (she is a featured performer on the 2001 La Pasion recording linked above). The Celebrity Series has presented her before - when she was a Bostonian during the 1990s - and we are proud to be doing so again. Ms. Souza will perform with guitarist Romero Lubambo and share a double bill with saxophonist Joe Lovano at Sanders Theatre on March 18.

I also want to seize the opportunity to tell you to visit (and revisit) Cafe Aman. I know I will.
