MusiCurate Hacia Lo Ignoto - Lahring - Classical Guitar - Book
Additional Photos:
Composer: Ben Lahring
Format: Book
Instrumentation: Classical Guitar
"Hacia Lo Ignoto" was inspired by the poem of the same name by Cuban poet Dulce María Borrero. The poem likens the poet's heart to a dying bird watching white doves (symbols of dreams and freedom) pass through the sky. The heart yearns to follow the doves and experience their serene journey but remains trapped, unable to escape the confines of the poet's chest. This composition seeks to capture the yearning reflected in the poet's verses. It is dedicated to Iliana Matos.
Ben Lahring (b. 1986) is an Associate Composer of the Canadian Music Centre and a member of the Canadian League of Composers. Additionally, he is the classical guitar instructor at Ambrose University. From his formative years spent in tropical northern Australia to a globe-spanning music career, Lahring has always been bold in his musical explorations. As a performer-composer, his album Driftwood was reviewed to high acclaim as "a work of originality and shimmering beauty" (Vivascene) and "one of the most singularly beautiful guitar recitals" (Fanfare Magazine). Lahring counts among his composition teachers Dr. Heva Chan in Sydney, Australia, and Drs. Laurie Radford and Allan Bell in Calgary, Canada.
