Digital Concert: Edmar Colón Jazz Quartet

featuring John Patitucci

Puerto Rican saxophonist, pianist, and composer Edmar Colón, explores the connections between the West African musical heritage in the Americas and the idiosyncrasies of classical music from Europe and beyond.

This program will also include some selections from the expansive and ever-so-beautiful Puerto Rican songbook by composers such as Bobby Capó, Julio Guitiérrez, and Sylvia Rexach. Presented in association with Ágora Cultural Architects.

Brazil’s world-renowned contemporary dance ensemble Grupo Corpo returns to Boston for the first time since 2018 with a program that shows off uniquely Brazilian cultural elements and aesthetics. 

Gira, created in 2017, evokes rituals from the Umbanda religious practice, a uniquely Brazilian faith blending West African and Catholic spiritual practice that originated in Rio de Janeiro in the 1920s. 

Gil Refazendo, with choreography by Rodrigo Pederneiras, takes as its inspiration the music of Gilberto Gil, the Bahian composer, performer, and activist called “the godfather of Brazilian music.”
