# Ensemble Dal Niente

Dal Niente performs music by leading Latin American composers, including the world premiere of Igor Santos' confined. speak., commissioned by the McKim Fund at the Library of Congress. Nur Slim's Humming Between Branches, in which the singer's voice dances within widely varying instrumental textures, shimmers, dives, and groans with kaleidoscopic virtuosity. Tania León's classic wind quintet De Memorias takes us back to her native Havana while in Tomás Gueglio's Lamarque Songs, the music evokes a kind of 40s glamour - at once shy and loud, at the same time proper and unapologetically melodramatic. Luis Amaya's Tinta Roja, Tinta Negra mesmerizes the listener with subtly shifting textures that resonate around an amplified jarana, and the concert closes with the dialogue between the harp and the ensemble in Hilda Paredes' Demente Cuerda. This event was recorded at the Gannon Concert Hall-Holtschneider Performance Center, DePaul University, and the Fulton Street Collective in Chicago, IL.
