Bio

Alberto Ginastera (1916–1983) was an Argentine composer whose music fused European modernism with Latin-American rhythms and folk elements. Born in Buenos Aires, he studied at the National Conservatory and later in the United States, where he absorbed the influences of Copland and serialism. His catalogue spans three numbered symphonies, piano and cello concertos, and operas such as Don Rodrigo and Bomarzo, establishing him as one of the most important Latin-American voices of the twentieth century.
