Crescent City Chamber Music Festival
11th Season, Free Public Concert No. 2
By popular demand, bandoneonist and composer JP Jofre makes his return to CCCMF! JP’s mastery of the bandoneon (a fascinating instrument known widely as the soul of Argentinian tango), and his own unique compositional voice combine forces with members of Ensemble-in-Residence the Manhattan Chamber Players for an intimate evening of exciting, virtuosic collaboration. Join us in the intimate and excellent acoustic of the Recital Hall at UNO’s Performing Arts Center for this unmissable event!
CCCMF Founding Artistic Director Luke Fleming leads an informal discussion and Q&A with JP at 6:30 PM. Come and meet this incredible artist!
