Presentation with Dr. Patricia Caicedo
“My life’s mission is to bring to light and to contribute to position Latin American and Iberian art song, its composers, and poets in the place of admiration and validation they deserve. I want to contribute to decolonizing the curriculum of classical singers to bring diversity to the vocal repertoire”
—Dr. Patricia Caicedo
Dr. Patricia Caicedo will give a presentation on the vocal repertoire of the countries of Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula. She will discuss songs written in Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, Quechua and Nahuatl by many women and other little known composers.
Recognized as the voice of the Iberian and Latin American art song and often described as its ambassador, the soprano and musicologist Patricia Caicedo is one of the leading interpreters and researchers of this repertoire.
She is an avid performer of these works, having performed all over the world in addition to founding and directing the Barcelona Festival of Song, which focuses on the performance and study of Latin American and Iberian art song.
Patricia is a true artist-scholar who combines research and performance, enriching each other. She has recorded ten CDs dedicated to the art song repertoire in Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese, and Indigenous languages. Most of her recordings include works recorded for the first time or works composed for her to premiere. Two of her CDs are exclusively dedicated to the music of women composers.
