The Last Hundred promotes classical music from the last one hundred years.
The core members of The Last Hundred (TLH) are Juan Trigos, internationally renowned composer and conductor who is the artistic director and principal conductor of the ensemble, Daniela D’Ingiullo (soprano) and composers/performers Catalina von Wrangell (composer and clarinetist) and Federico Bonacossa (composer and guitarist). Combined they have 50 years of concertizing experience; each having earned individual accolades for their works. Having crossed paths, they decided to join forces in 2020 to create The Last Hundred Ensemble in order to realize its core mission of presenting music written within the last one hundred years. TLH plays a unique role in the field by bridging the gap between the current and past century thereby reestablishing the important connection between contemporary composers and their predecessors. Highlights from our 2022 Season include a homage to Sofia Gubaidulina, in celebration of her 90th birthday, the production of the opera Ella-Miau (She-Meow) by Juan Trigos in collaboration with the Puppet Company "La Coperacha" of Guadalajara (Mexico) with performances in Miami and Teatro Degollado (Festival Cultural de Mayo, Guadalajara, Mexico), and the release of TLH’s first CD featuring music by Federico Bonacossa.
TLH’s Season 2023 included two events conducted by Juan Trigos. On February 24th it will present music by Bruno Maderna, Charles Norman Mason, Orlando Jacinto García, Arthur Honegger, Gabrio Taglietti and Augusta Read Thomas. On March 28th, we will present “Choros Bis”, for violín and cello by Heitor Villa-lobos and two world premieres of works written for The Last Hundred Ensemble.
“A Sparrow Flies Towards a Woman as She Stares at a Crescent Moon” by Federico Bonacossa, for guitar and mixed ensemble This work was created with the support of the Miami Individual Artist Stipend program and the soloists was the composer.
“El Poema de Tlaltecatzin” (Poem of Tlaltecatzin) by Juan Trigos, scored for soprano and ensemble, is a commission of the prestigious Fromm Commission of the Fromm Music Foundation at Harvard University. The text is in Nahuatl with some parts in its Spanish translation. Daniela D’Ingiullo, soprano, was the soloist.
Both events were presented at the St. Bede Chapel at University of Miami.

Mission
The mission of The Last Hundred (TLH) is to present high-quality art music written in the last one hundred years, acting as a liaison between modern and contemporary music. A central aspect of TLH is to create a professional ensemble that will feature some of the best musicians from our area as well as to invite guest performers, composers, and ensembles from other cities, states, and countries to perform, give lectures, and teach masterclasses in our community. TLH aims to create carefully selected and crafted events where audience members can experience music in a welcoming setting. In the spirit of promoting new works, the organization is committed to presenting and commissioning pieces by a wide range of composers working locally, nationally, and internationally. Ultimately, TLH wishes to create a culturally enriching environment where those who love classical music from the 20th century to our days, as well as those who are new to it, can explore this rich yet largely underrepresented repertoire.
