Diego Rivera: "Ofrenda" CD Release

Fri, Nov 08

Join us for a live taping and listening-room concert for Diego Rivera: "Ofrenda" CD Release! Lineup TBA Saxophonist, composer, and Director of Jazz Studies at the University of Texas at Austin expands the diaspora of jazz through his musical celebration of the multi-cultural traditions and observances of Día de los Muertos with his creation of his latest composition and album, “Ofrenda.” Commissioned by Chamber Music America’s 2022 New Jazz Works, this thoughtful program is a 10-movement suite dedicated to this rich tradition of honoring the lives and souls of lost loved ones. The performances within "Ofrenda" will captivate jazz enthusiasts, encouraging them to explore the magic and mysteries of this musical journey with amazement and delight. “Ofrenda" has been made possible with support from Chamber Music America's New Jazz Works program funded through the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. Please Note: This is a live-taping, so we'll be enforcing a whisper-policy! Cold bottles of still and sparkling water will be available for purchase, but this event is BYOB. Ice will be available if needed, wine keys and 9oz cups provided! 22 free parking spaces onsite are first-come-first-serve. First Show: Doors at 7:45pm, Show at 8pm. Second Show: Doors at 9:45pm, Show at 10pm.
