Harlem Quartet & Aldo López-Gavilán

http://harlemquartet.com/

Harlem Quartet, praised for its “panache” by 

The New York Times, is “bringing 

a new attitude to classical music, one that is 

fresh, bracing and intelligent,” 

says the Cincinnati Enquirer. The quartet, 

comprised of violinists Ilmar Gavilan 

and Melissa White, violist Jaime Amador and 

cellist Felix Umansky, will be 

joined by the acclaimed Cuban pianist/composer 

Aldo López-Gavilán in a collaboration that bridges 

jazz, classical and traditional Cuban music through 

the works of Dizzy Gillespie, Tom Jobim and 

Abelardito Valdés. The program also features 

several original works by López-Gavilán arranged 

specifically  for this collaboration.
