This is a rare and historically significant original silkscreen poster commemorating a tribute concert for the legendary Augusto Rodríguez, founder and director of the Coro de la Universidad de Puerto Rico (UPR). Dated May 13, 1970, the event took place at the University Theater at 8:30 P.M., celebrating Rodríguez’s immense contributions as a composer and conductor.
The poster features a striking high-contrast mid-century design, characteristic of the renowned Puerto Rican graphic arts movement of the 1960s and 70s. The artwork depicts Rodríguez in his signature conducting pose, alongside a stylized representation of the choir, utilizing bold red accents against a deep black field.
The text highlights his prestigious career, listing performances and affiliations with institutions such as Harvard, Yale, Carnegie Hall, and Lincoln Center, as well as his international tours through Latin America and Spain. This piece is not only a tribute to a titan of Puerto Rican music but also a prime example of the posters produced during the "Golden Age" of Puerto Rican printmaking.
