Paquito D'Rivera defies categorization. The Cuban born and New York-based saxophonist and clarinet player is celebrated both for his artistry in Latin jazz and his achievements as a classical composer. His numerous recordings include more than 30 solo albums, nine of which have earned him GRAMMY Awards. D’Rivera is a recipient of the National Medal for the Arts, and has been honored as a Living Jazz Legend by the Kennedy Center. Hailed by The National Endowment for the Arts as the “consummate multinational ambassador, creating and promoting a cross-culture of music that moves effortlessly among jazz, Latin, and Mozart,” this is a performance you won’t want to miss. Performance held in conjunction with the Lewisburg Chocolate Festival
This tour engagement of Paquito D'Rivera is funded through the American Masterpieces programs of Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation and the West Virginia Division of Culture and History, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts American Masterpieces: Three Centuries of Artistic Genius, a major initiative to acquaint Americans with the best of their cultural and artistic legacy.
