About this event
Cuban-born alto saxophonist, clarinetist, composer, and NEA Jazz Master Paquito D’Rivera is a living cultural institution in Afro-Latin music, jazz, and classical music. A 16-time Grammy and Latin Grammy Award winner, D’Rivera joins as special guest in this celebration of Chick Corea’s music, an evening conceived by Spanish conductor Josep Vicent with arrangements by Argentine pianist and composer Emilio Solla. Taking inspiration from their collaboration RITMO: Tribute to Chick Corea, recorded live in July 2021 in Alicante, Spain, this U.S. debut concert unites symphony orchestra and jazz ensemble to reimagine Corea’s iconic works—including “Spain” and “Armando’s Rhumba.” It celebrates his deep connection to Latin music as well as his lasting influence on jazz.
