Dr. Walter Aaron Clark, professor of musicology at UC Riverside, will present a pre-concert lecture on the Romero family, starting at 2 p.m. He is the director of the Center for Iberian and Latin American Music at UCR and the author of groundbreaking Oxford biographies of Albéniz, Granados, and Moreno Torroba.

We have some amazing photos of the Romero family that we’re really happy
they’ve shared – they’re definitely worth a look.
