More information

Felipe Lara composed his Capriccio for Saxophone Quartet in 2007 as part of the Wordwide Concurrent Premiers led by Ken Radnofsky and premiered by his quartet. We would like to have Felipe Lara give a presentation on the piece, discussing compositional style, how he wrote the piece, etc, and then play the piece. It is a good and interesting piece that more people should know about and it is our goal to give this piece the credit it deserves.
