The "Cool Classical! Hot Salsa!" concert featuring the Morales-Matos family and friends was an amazing one. Mixing classical music with own compositions and hot Latin Salsa, it was a deliight for the participants. There was also a Salsa dancing in the end.
The most impressive pieces of music were actually own compositions of the family members: the wonderful romantic "Romance" composed by Sonia Morales Matos, which she wrote for a wedding of her brother, and "Off the Earth" written and performed by Rolando Morales Matos, for which he received a standing ovation!
Our thanks go to Linton Chamber Music (www.lintonmusic.org) for organizing this concert, and Tracy Wilson, the program director of the Mayor's 801 Plum Concerts Series.
