CMW brings an evening of genre-bending virtuosity and electricity to New York's DiMenna Center on Saturday, October 18 at 7pm. Join Community MusicWorks, Venezuelan composer Gonzalo Grau, and violinist Johnny Gandelsman (of the Silk Road Project and Brooklyn Rider) on October 18 for the New York City premiere of Fantasia de Guayaba Habanera.
