Harlem Quartet & Aldo López-Gavilán perform 7:00 PM Sunday, October 23, 2016 at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts


Harlem Quartet & Aldo López-Gavilán

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.
