From Barcelona with Passion: Enrique Granados in New York

Enrique Granados (1867–1916) spent his last months in New York. This stay in the city marked several of the most successful moments in his career: the premiere of his opera Goyescas at the Metropolitan Opera in New York and a recital at the White House. Granados tragically died only days later in the English Channel when the ferry he was travelling in was torpedoed by a German U-boat. 
 
The concert From Barcelona with Passion: Enrique Granados in New York is devoted to the music of Enrique Granados. The centenary of his death in 2016 is a chance to rediscover and reassess the important musical contribution made by Granados and to underline his ties with New York City in particular.
