PROGRAM
GABRIELA ORTIZ | Kauyumari
BEETHOVEN | Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major, Op. 58
STRAUSS | Also sprach Zarathustra (Thus Spoke Zarathustra)
“Among the Huichol people of Mexico, Kauyumari means “blue deer.” The blue deer represents a spiritual guide, transformed through an extended pilgrimage into a hallucinogenic cactus called peyote. It allows the Huichol to communicate with their ancestors, do their bidding, and take on their role as guardians of the planet.” –Gabriela Ortiz
With 2001: A Space Odyssey, Also sprach Zarathustra became cemented in popular culture, often used to foretell significant events or indicate space travel. Its opening theme has been used everywhere from the BBC to the wrestling ring.
