Intuicion D'rivera / Figueiredo / Sanchez

Intuicion is a program of contemporary music for clarinet and piano by Latin-American composers. Virginia Figueiredo and Lorenzo Sanchez have the full mettle of these colorful works. Praised in The Clarinet Magazine for her "intense musicality... and unapologetic interpretations," Los Angeles-based clarinetist Virginia Figueiredo is an internationally active performer, recording artist, and educator. She has toured extensively throughout the United States, Europe, South America, and Asia as a soloist and chamber musician, and her performances have been featured on radio broadcasts in both Portugal and the United States. In Southern California, she performs regularly with The Pacific Opera Project, the Luso-American Duo, and numerous other orchestras and chamber ensembles. As a recording artist, Figueiredo has released two prior albums to critical acclaim: her debut solo album, Seule, was a 2018 Global Music Awards silver medalist, while her 2014 album with The Divan Consort, Refuge, earned a first-round GRAMMY nomination in 2015 as well as a Global Music Awards gold medal.
