De la Guardia gets “Dirty”
December 2009
This past November 2009 contemporary soprano and actor, Aliana de la Guardia presented the first concert under her new company “Dirty Paloma” with great success.
The mission of the company is to engage and expose innovative performers, musicians and composers. They did just that on November 19, 2009 at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Brookline, MA with an eclectic program featuring new works by four composers, three of which were the world premieres of works commissioned to be performed specifically on this concert mixed with works of more known composers such as Berg, Brahms and Barber.
“I have so many ideas, and I’m so excited to try them out,” says de la Guardia. Meanwhile she and Jonathan Nussman are taking this show on the road, beginning with another performance of this concert on February 3, 2009 at The Boston Conservatory’s Seully Hall.
