David Virelles: Piano & Electronics

A pioneering voice in contemporary jazz brings his innovative fusion of Afro-Caribbean traditions and electronic soundscapes to the Coral Gables Museum. On Saturday, February 8, pianist and composer David Virelles returns for a second performance at Coral Gables Museum, featuring original compositions from his acclaimed NUNA collection alongside reimagined Cuban popular music from the early 20th century.

The Santiago de Cuba-born musician, celebrated for his ability to bridge traditional and avant-garde musical expressions, will take the stage for a solo show that demonstrates his distinctive approach to composition and improvisation. Virelles, a recipient of the Herb Alpert Award, has recently performed at Carnegie and received rave reviews from the New York Times.

This concert is part of a special two-night engagement at the museum, offering audiences an opportunity to experience Virelles' exploration of cultural identity through music. His program includes selections from his award-winning repertoire as well as innovative interpretations of classic Cuban compositions.
