Since his move to the United States in 1994, Colombian jazz harpist Edmar Castaneda has quite literally taken New York and the world stage by storm with the sheer force of his virtuosic command of the harp—revolutionizing the way audiences and critics alike consider an instrument commonly relegated to the "unusual category." A master at realizing beautiful complexities of time, while skillfully drawing out lush colors and dynamic spirit, Edmar has been characterized as "almost a world unto himself" (The New York Times). Join us for a great concert!
