This programme features works either penned or arranged by women, including beloved popular Latin American standards by female Latin American icons such as Violeta Parra and Chabuca Granda, alongside classical pieces such as the Danzón No. 2 by Arturo Márquez, and the world premiere of Élegos by fellow Venezuelan, Diana Arismendi. 

Clara will also introduce special guests, the rising stars Nina Rivas on the cello, and Leonardo Muller-Rodriguez (AKA Manukapp) on electric bass.
