- MUSIC FROM THE HISPANIC WORLD &
Artistic Collaborations -
"Because of my family roots and affinity for the Spanish language, I enjoy sharing my deep love for the culture and music of the Hispanic World. I continue to present this repertoire in symposiums, thematic recitals, lectures and artist residencies.
My Fulbright year in Spain further enriched my artistry, and I continue to investigate and perform both historical and contemporary composers from Spain. I invite you to sample my two commercially released discs Las canciones de Julio Gomez & Espana alla Rossini which showcases these interests.
In addition, my repertoire exploration has led me to explore the classical composers of Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Haiti; I have presented recitals featuring these songs and their poetry throughout the United States and Europe. "
