Paquito D’Rivera: Celebrating 70+ Years in Music

ABOUT THE CONCERT

NEA Jazz Master, composer, and reedist Paquito D’Rivera brings to life the eclectic fusion of his extensive travels with unparalleled improvisations, multinational rhythms, and original orchestrations. He shares his musical journey with his beloved New York City, a place he’s dreamed of since his father played him a 1938 recording of Benny Goodman and his orchestra live at Carnegie Hall. With 16 combined Grammy and Latin Grammy Awards to his name, D’Rivera brings his acclaimed quintet and special guests Chucho Valdés, Edmar Castañeda, Roberta Gambarini, Yotam Silberstein, Héctor del Curto, Roberto Vizcaino, Victor Provost, and the Young People’s Chorus of New York City to the stage.
