Elio Villafranca: Florentina
About the Concert
Florentina is a powerful new suite by pianist and composer Elio Villafranca. It is inspired by the life of Florentina Zulueta, a woman taken from West Africa and enslaved in Cuba. Born as Tolo-Ño, her name and identity were repeatedly erased. Villafranca gives her a voice in this story of loss, resilience, and dignity. Written for a 10-piece ensemble and choir, the work marks a major milestone following Villafranca’s 2023 Standing by the Crossroads and his Grammy-nominated album CINQUE.
