The inaugural segment of Hidden Histories features the life and work of Cenobio Hernandez, a local composer in the 1920s and 30s who wrote music for silent films, which screened on the Westside of San Antonio at the Palace and Nacional theaters. A trove of his music was recently found by his grandson, Ricky Hernandez, who produced the album Recuerdos: Musica para Piano por Cenobio Hernandez, and who hosts and facilitates a discussion of his grandfather’s work.
