The Spanish Harlem Orchestra has established itself as a standard bearer of contemporary Latin music since its founding in 2000. Directed by world-renowned pianist, arranger, and producer Oscar Hernández, the 13 member all-star ensemble has reintroduced the classic sounds of New York City's salsa to music lovers worldwide. This concert will feature original compositions grounded in the unique identity the band has forged based on the musical legacy of El Barrio in New York.

This event is free and open to the public.

Due to the overwhelming response, we are no longer able to accept reservations. Please feel free to join us on a stand-by basis.
