program notes
Gabriela Lena Frank was born in 1972 to a Peruvian-Chinese mother and a Lithuanian-Jewish father. Her multicultural identity, and especially her relationship with her mother’s Peruvian ancestry, is often at the core of her work.
Her Cuatro Bosquejos Pre-Incaicos (Four Pre-Inca Sketches) from 2006 are filled with indigenous tunes and mannerisms, each movement inspired by archaeological artifacts such as ceramics, cloth and metalwork from pre-Inca Peru. In her own words, "It is the Inca from whom many Peruvians today trace their heritage, but I’m always wondering what lies before the Inca and how much the racial soul of so many past cultures still persists in me?”
