Northwest Sinfonietta: Havana Heat II

Aldo López-Gavilán, piano

Cuban pianist and composer Aldo Lopez-Gavilan makes his highly-anticipated return to the Northwest, joining members of the Sinfonietta for an unforgettable evening of music! Dubbed a "formidable virtuoso" by The Times of London, Lopez-Gavilan excels equally in the worlds of classical, jazz, and chamber music. His spirit of collaboration has made him a key figure in promoting the cultural exchange between the United States and Cuba. In April 2016, he was part of a group of musicians who collaborated in Cuba with such renowned U.S. artists as Joshua Bell, Dave Matthews, and Smokey Robinson.

Program to be announced from the stage.
