About the concert:

A Havana native, pianist Aldo López-Gavilán is an artist with his feet in two worlds, acclaimed for both his mastery of the Afro-Cuban jazz tradition as well as his stunning interpretations of the classical piano repertoire. A true prodigy born to a musical family, he began formal studies at seven, making his professional debut at 12 with Cuba’s Matanzas Symphony Orchestra and performing with the National Symphony of Cuba at 17. Since that auspicious start, López-Gavilán has toured the world and released 10 award-winning albums of original compositions with many of Cuba’s finest instrumentalists.
