about

ANGÉLICA NEGRÓN
3. LAS DESAPARECIDAS
Las Desaparecidas is a piece for cello
and electronics inspired by young girls abducted and
used for human trafficking, more specifically the case
of the disappeared girls from Juárez in Mexico.
The piece uses found sounds and restless
rhythms to focus on the loss of innocence,
exhaustion of survival instincts, and
the role of machismo sexism in
gender-directed violence.
Puerto Rican-born composer and
multi-instrumentalist Angélica Negrón
writes music for accordions, robotic
instruments, plants, toys, and electronics
as well as for chamber ensembles, films,
orchestras and choir.
Her music has been described as
“wistfully idiosyncratic and contemplative”
(WQXR/Q2) while The New York Times
noted her “capacity to surprise.”
Her work explores the sometimesoverlooked
magic in the seemingly
insignificant, the domestic and the
quotidian to create a personal microcosm
of recollections through sound.
