Tania León: Horizons, Raíces (Origins), Stride, Pasajes

Tania León: Horizons, Raíces (Origins), Stride, Pasajes
The fifth consecutive fortnightly release from the LPO label, currently celebrating their 20th anniversary year. Cuban-born American composer Tania León was Composer-in-Residence with the London Philharmonic Orchestra from 2023-25. During this period, she not only brought a bold new voice to theconcert stage with a number of world premieres, but also mentored the LPO’s Young Composers, championing living composers anddiversity in contemporary music. Horizons (1999): Premiered in the UK by the LPO under Karina Canellakis at the Royal Festival Hall in October 2023, this evocativeorchestral work reflects León’s fluid musical form - an ever-shifting stream punctuated by vivid foreground events and rich textures. Raíces (Origins) (2024): Commissioned by the LPO andConcertgebouw Brugge and premiered by the LPO under Edward Gardner in March 2024, Raíces explores León’s multicultural heritagethrough a vibrant, three-part structure that fuses contemplative textures, lively Latin rhythms and jazz-inflected exuberance. Gardnercalled it “a beautiful pointillist tone poem about the roots of languageand culture.” Stride (2020): A Pulitzer Prize-winning work premiered by the NewYork Philharmonic and given its UK premiere by the LPO in 2023 under the baton of Dima Slobodeniouk , Stride draws inspiration fromwomen’s rights activist Susan B. Anthony’s determined spirit. Its powerful rhythmic language blends Black music traditions from the US and Caribbean with the modality of the orchestra. Pasajes (2022): A European premiere by the LPO under Edward Gardner in February 2025, this vivid four-part work evokes the sounds, sights, and joyful spirit of León’s childhood in Cuba. Rich incolour, rhythm and narrative, Pasajes is a sonic gallery of culturalmemory, celebration and radio playing in the street.
