One of the most important 20th-century composers was the Mexican Silvestre Revueltas, who died of alcoholism before World War II. Revueltas was a huge talent who combined fluency in Afro-Latin folk idioms with musical sophistication and searing intensity comparable to Mahler's. His music is scandalously neglected, but Jed Gaylin, the music director of the Hopkins Symphony Orchestra, is deeply interested in his compositions and will perform Revueltas' "Redes" with the HSO Saturday at 8 p.m. in Shriver Hall.
