The program will also present the charming and delightful Eclogues by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco for flute, English horn and guitar evoking the pastoral Italian countryside. A second piece, La Oración del Torero (The bullfighter's prayer) for String Quartet also composed by Turina, expresses the passion and emotion of his homeland.
