Bio / Background
Siesta in Catalonia. A nap in the early afternoon as a respite from the hot, humid Mediterranean summers. This was the climate and culture into which composer/guitarist Miguel Llobet was born in 1878 and where he lived until his death at the age of 59. Throughout his life he was immersed in the unique, rich folk traditions of this northeast region of Spain, a region which shares history and language with parts of France, Andorra, and Sardinia. Ritual dances and poetic ballads on romantic legendary themes are a vital part of the Catalonian cultural heritage.
Nirit Ziv-Wexler received her MM degree from Yale School of Music, where she studied with Benjamin Verdery, and her B.Mus degree from The Jerusalem Rubin Academy of Music and Dance, where she studied with Joseph Yerushalmi. She had also studied and performed in a master class forum with John Williams, David Russell, Oscar Guiglia, Eliot Fisk, and Sharon Isbin.
