Acclaimed composer, sought-after conductor, esteemed educator,
tireless advocate for the arts--Tania Leon's achievements encompass
but also stretch far beyond contemporary classical music. Alejandro
L. Madrid draws on oral history, archival work, and ethnography to
offer the first in-depth biography of the artist. Breaking from a
chronological account, Madrid looks at Leon through the issues that
have informed and defined moments in her life and her professional
works. Leon's words become a starting ground--but also a
counterpoint--to the accounts of the people in her orbit. What
emerges is more than an extraordinary portrait of an artist's
journey. It is a story of how a human being reacts to the
challenges thrown at her by history itself, be it the Cuban
revolution or the struggle for civil and individual rights. Nuanced
and multifaceted, Tania Leon's Stride looks at the life, legacy,
and milieu that created and sustained one of the most important
figures in American classical music.
