Celebrate the start of the Louisville Orchestra’s upcoming season with a free Music Without Borders concert at Iroquois Amphitheater, bringing the Orchestra and the Louisville community together for an energetic evening of Afro-Cuban music.
The Louisville Orchestra joins forces with Grammy-nominated percussionist and vocalist Pedrito Martinez and his acclaimed band, featuring Sebastian Natal on bass, Manuel Marquez on timbales, Andy Garcia on keyboards and Xito Lowell on trombone.
Born in Havana, Martinez is celebrated for combining the deep traditions of Cuban rumba with jazz, timba and contemporary influences. Led by conductor Ahmed Alom, the Orchestra opens the program with Arturo Márquez’s Danzón No. 2, a thrilling orchestral favorite inspired by the elegance and energy of Cuban dance. The evening also features Alejandro García Caturla’s colorful Tres Danzas Cubanas and original songs by Martinez, including Aumba, Ciudadano, Yo Sí Quiero, Dios Mío and La Luna.
