PIANO SPHERES: Andrés Jaramillo: A Journey of Immigrants, Part II

Piano Spheres is a concert series for contemporary and 20th Century classical piano that I have been attending since 2006. It's always worth attending. Andrés Jaramillo performed a wonderful concert last season. Date: May 6 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm Venue: Thayer Hall at the Colburn School 200 S Grand Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90012 + Google Map Tickets: $25 General $15 Seniors and Students https://pianospheres.org/event/andres-jaramillo-a-journey-of-immigrants-part-ii/ Reprising his theme from last season’s timely and impactful program, Andrés Jaramillo continues a musical meditation into the spirit of the immigrant experience. Where last year’s concert focused on the emotional or interior life of the individual, “A Journey of Immigrants, Part II” is a program that shifts from introspection to celebration, embracing the beauty of multicultural exchange, honoring both what immigrants bring and what they receive in return. Through a vibrant and evocative program spanning the global Romantic tradition to works by living European and Latin American composers, Jaramillo invites audiences into a rich ecosystem of languages, perspectives, sonorities, colors, and even flavors. This recital is not only a musical journey, but a living portrait of cultural encounter; an artistic space where multiculturalism is not just represented, but heard, felt, and celebrated.
