Following its dazzling success at the Latin America Festival, and by popular demand, the show featuring the three virtuosos is back! They will celebrate a shared love of jazz, of Latin and South American rhythms, of Bach, and of Buena Vista folklore alongside sweeping Latin jazz. What happens when a virtuoso Cuban musician meets one of the pillars of classical music? In the show "Bach Jumps to Cuba," Cuban pianist Chuchito Valdes brings his Afro-Cuban world together with the work of Johann Sebastian Bach (and more) - creating a journey in which the boundaries between classical and Latin music are erased. Alongside him stands Omar Acosta, an award-winning Venezuelan flutist and composer, a two-time Latin Grammy nominee, creator of the iconic piece "Solo de Pajarillo," and an international Yamaha artist. He is known as one of the most prominent Venezuelan flutists of his generation and has served as flutist and musical director of Spain's National Ballet. Together they weave a rich tapestry in which Bach's motifs are given new breath, fiery Cuban rhythms blend with ancient elegance, and improvisation becomes a tool for connecting worlds. Costel Nitescu has a unique voice that has captivated the world, flawless technique, and phenomenal virtuosity. If Brazil has four stars on its national soccer team's jersey, Romania deserves at least as many stars for its wonderful violinists. Costel Nitescu is part of the dream team of Romanian jazz violin. Already at age 16 he was first violin in the Bucharest National Radio Orchestra, and his classical training gave him a remarkable ability to blend into the various musical styles of Central Europe. In the early 2000s he moved to Paris, where his talent as an improviser quickly placed him at the top of Gypsy jazz. Chuchito Valdes is a third-generation member of the legendary Valdes dynasty, a Latin Grammy nominee, former leader of Irakere, and a piano master who combines Afro-Cuban jazz, Caribbean sounds and swing into an electrifying show that lights up the stage with swing, groove and irresistible energy. This is an evening in which Bach sets out on a tropical journey - full of humor, freedom, and creativity - like never heard before! Featuring: Chuchito Valdes - piano (Cuba), Costel Nitescu - violin (France), Omar Acosta - flute (Venezuela).
