Celebrating Cuban-American Composers

Friday, February 14, 2020 at 6:45 pm

Free & Open to the Public
Composer Paquito D'Rivera

Celebrating Cuban-American Composers highlights the music of multi-Grammy Award-winning Cuban-American composer Paquito D’Rivera. Hailed by the National Endowment for the Arts as “the consummate multinational ambassador, creating and promoting a cross-culture of music that moves effortlessly among jazz, Latin, and Mozart,” his music defies categories and he’s celebrated both for his artistry in Latin jazz and as a classical composer. Then enjoy Orlando Jacinto Garcia’s “Entrelazamientos” (“Entanglements”). Jacinto Garcia notes “the title refers to the term from physics were in a nutshell one particle in one corner of the universe can be connected to another particle on the other end of the universe and when something changes in one it affects the other.” Igancio Cervantes’s “Danzas” and Ernesto Lecuona’s iconic “Andalucia” round out an exciting program!

Free and open to the public
