His intimate understanding of the medium shines brightly in Abertura Metropolitana (Metropolitan Overture), a work that earned international acclaim as the winner of the 2010 Columbia Summer Winds Outdoor Composition Contest.
True to its title, Abertura Metropolitana is a wild, frenetic musical portrait of life in a sprawling modern metropolis, followed by lyrical interludes that offer a glimpse into the solitary, human moments hidden beneath the concrete and steel.
