Acclaimed composer, sought-after conductor, esteemed educator, tireless advocate for the arts--Tania Le�n'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 Le�n through the issues that have informed and defined moments in her life and her professional works. Le�n'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 Le�n's Stride looks at the life, legacy, and milieu that created and sustained one of the most important figures in American classical music.
