DESCRIPTION:Orchestra of St. Luke’s (OSL)\, joined by baritone Joseph Parrish\, celebrates the friendship between Harry T. Burleigh\, the pioneering Black American composer\, and Antonín Dvořák\, the renowned Czech composer that began when the two men met in 1892. Their collaboration\, rooted in spirituals and folk music\, helped shape a distinctly American sound that continues to inspire us today. \nOSL brings that story to the Flushing Town Hall\, joined by baritone Joseph Parrish in a program that weaves Burleigh’s original songs and spiritual arrangements with Dvořák’s Violin Sonatina in G Major–music born from the same conversation\, performed together in Queens. \nThis concert is part of Five Boroughs Music Festival’s season finale tour\, with OSL performing the same program across all five NYC boroughs: Hostos Community College (BRONX)\, Snug Harbor Cultural Center (STATEN ISLAND)\, Brooklyn Public Library\, New York Public Library (MANHATTAN)\, and Flushing Town Hall (QUEENS).

SUMMARY:Simón Cifuentes Band | Jazz
DESCRIPTION:A dynamic evening of jazz led by talented young bassist Simón Cifuentes\, featuring original compositions and fresh interpretations of classic standards. Blending bebop\, swing\, and contemporary improvisation\, the ensemble creates an energetic and expressive musical dialogue. \nTime: 7:30 pm. 8:30 pm (First Set) \n9:30 pm. 10:30 pm (Second Set) \nAdmission: $20: Cover at Mezzanine. \nFeaturing: \n\n\nTheo Kornblum — Sax \n\n\nTosh kachad   — Drums \n\n\nJojo Roses — Guitar \n\n\nSimón Cifuentes  —Bass and musical direction.  \n\n\nAbout Simón Cifuentes Band: \nSimon’s band performs a blend of classic jazz standards and original compositions\, creating a musical journey through different eras of jazz. Their repertoire explores styles such as bebop and swing\, combining timeless melodies with Simon’s own creative voice. \nAbout Simón Cifuentes: \nSimón Cifuentes is a Colombian multi-instrumentalist and vocalist based in New York who\, at just 13 years old\, has already established himself as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary jazz and Latin music. He plays double bass\, tiple\, cuatro\, and piano — placing the double bass at the conceptual center of a musical proposal that is at once technically rigorous and deeply emotional. \nAt 12 and 13\, Simón became the youngest Latin musician to perform solo double bass concerts at the Blue Note in New York and São Paulo. He is currently a member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Youth Orchestra\, performing on stages including the Rose Theater\, Dizzy’s Club\, and the Appel Room. He has shared the stage with Winard Harper\, Ari Hoenig\, Patrick Bartley\, and Sam Dillon; received masterclasses from Christian McBride; performed for Wynton Marsalis at the Rose Theater; and joined Marsalis on stage in Chicago with the JALC Youth Orchestra. His ensemble “Charlie Parker” won the Best Combo award from DownBeat magazine. \nIn the Latin music sphere\, Simón reached the semifinals of La Voz Kids singing salsa at age 9 and has collaborated with Tony Succar\, Luisito Quintero\, Bobby Allende\, Fruko\, Tito Puente Jr.\, Jimmy Bosch\, and Carlos Henríquez\, among others. He was a special guest at Carlos Vives’ concert at Radio City Music Hall. \nHe is currently preparing the release of two albums: a live jazz record from the Blue Note São Paulo featuring original compositions\, and a salsa album with guest artists including Tony Succar. \nSimón Cifuentes is not a promise. He is already an artistic reality — embodying the present and future of jazz and Latin music.

SUMMARY:Cristina Candela\, Barbara Martinez & Raphael Brunne -Flamenco
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of flamenco where Cristina’s expressive dance meets the warm voice of Barbara Martinez. With guitarist Raphael Brunne and a solid group of accompanying musicians\, they bring a thoughtful and intimate approach to flamenco in a night of rhythm\, song\, and dance. \n7:30 pm to 8:30 pm(First Set) \n9:30 pm to 10:30 pm(Second Set) \nAdmission: $20: Cover at Mezzanine. \nFeaturing: \n\n\nCristina Candela / Bailaora \n\n\nBarbara Martinez / Cantaora \n\n\nRaphael Brunne / Guitar \n\n\nAbout Cristina Candela: \nCristina Candela has been dedicated to flamenco since 2007\, performing in tablaos such as El Patio Andaluz in Barcelona and touring internationally in Malaysia and Singapore with Chalachi. She has collaborated with companies like María Carrasco Cía and Apuchelando Cía\, taking on roles as dancer\, choreographer\, and producer. \nHer artistic curiosity has led her into fusion projects\, notably with Anlage Cía in Granada\, and into educational initiatives such as Voices of Tomorrow under the Yehudi Menuhin Foundation\, where she served as a cultural ambassador. \nCristina’s work also bridges cinema and performance — she has acted\, danced\, and participated in the production of short and independent films. Deeply engaged with both the stage and its creative processes\, she sees dance as a language for expressing her vision of the world. As she recalls the words of Pina Bausch\, “Dance\, dance\, otherwise we are lost.” \nAbout Barbara Martinez:  \nBárbara Martínez is a flamenco singer\, dancer\, songwriter\, and interdisciplinary artist whose career began at age 11 with The Children’s Chorus of the Metropolitan Opera. She is one of the few flamenco artists in the United States who performs regularly both as singer and dancer with leading flamenco companies\, including Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana\, A Palo Seco\, Pasión y Arte\, and EntreFlamenco. \nHer work bridges flamenco with jazz\, Latin American\, Middle Eastern\, and Sephardic musical traditions. She leads several original projects\, including a Latin jazz/flamenco ensemble that debuted at Carnegie Hall\, the flamenco fusion project ALBA MUSIK with Albert Alabedra\, and Barbarella\, a new body of original songs in English and Spanish. She is also the creator of TrashBata\, a one-woman performance work addressing the environmental crisis through flamenco and theater. \nComing from a celebrated artistic family\, Bárbara is the granddaughter of Argentine tango singer Morenita Rey and grandniece of legendary vocalist Libertad Lamarque. Her work has been featured in the documentary Sobre Las Olas – A Story of Flamenco in the U.S. and the exhibit 100 Years of Flamenco in New York. The New York Times praised her ability to make “something fresh of the Latin style.” \nBárbara holds degrees from Brown University and Berklee College of Music and currently teaches music in New York City. \nAbout Raphael Brunn: \nRaphael Brunn is a flamenco guitarist and composer born on December 19\, 1973\, in Hackensack\, New Jersey\, into a family of performers whose roots span juggling\, dance\, and trapeze. Raised in an environment where performance was a way of life\, he developed an early sensitivity to rhythm\, beginning his musical path on the bass guitar at the age of ten. \nAt fourteen\, Raphael moved to Europe to join his father\, a renowned juggler and acrobat whose work had long incorporated live flamenco music. Through this connection\, Raphael was immersed from an early age in the flamenco world\, gaining exposure to respected artists such as El Manzanita\, El Recortao\, and Pepe Márquez\, among others. \nHis debut as a flamenco guitarist took place during the opening festivities of the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona\, marking the beginning of a professional path deeply tied to the tradition. Over the years\, he has performed alongside many of the artists who influenced his development\, including collaborations with El Farruquito and El Torombo in the production Incognito in Frankfurt\, Germany. \nNow based in New York City\, Raphael Brunn continues to perform with a range of flamenco artists while developing his work as a composer. He is currently working on his second album.
