Bela Fleck, Edmar Castaneda & Antonio Sanchez

Three of the world's most innovative virtuosos unite for an extraordinary evening that transcends traditional genre boundaries. Bela Fleck, the Grammy-winning banjo master who has revolutionized his instrument across bluegrass, jazz, and world music, joins forces with Edmar Castaneda, the Colombian harpist who has redefined what the harp can do in contemporary music, and Antonio Sanchez, the Mexican drummer whose work spans from jazz fusion to film scores including the acclaimed Birdman soundtrack. Together, they create a unique musical conversation that blends Latin rhythms, jazz improvisation, and world music influences.

Expect an intimate and dynamic performance where each musician's distinct voice contributes to a collective sound that's both sophisticated and accessible. The interplay between Fleck's percussive banjo techniques, Castaneda's melodic harp innovations, and Sanchez's rhythmic mastery creates moments of delicate beauty and explosive energy. This is perfect for jazz enthusiasts, world music lovers, and anyone curious about hearing familiar instruments in completely new contexts. The acoustic nature of much of their collaboration allows for subtle nuances and spontaneous musical discoveries that make each performance unique.

Built in 1902 and lovingly restored, this 400-seat venue offers exceptional acoustics that allow every subtle interaction between these master musicians to be clearly heard.
