Arnhold Innovation Series: Danilo Perez and Godwin Louis The JLCO with Wynton Marsalis
Two stirring new commissions get their debut: Grammy Award-winning Panamanian pianist Danilo Pérez’s The Panáfrica Suite: Echoes from the Isthmus and saxophonist Godwin Louis’ African Roots, Diasporic Routes: Benin, Kongo, and the Music of the Americas. Joined by renowned singer Catherine Russell and percussionist Weedie Braimah, Pérez, Louis, and the JLCO treat audiences to a transatlantic voyage across the history of our music.
