Colombian American pianist Dr. Andrés Jaramillo is our Leonard Stein Resident Artist for 2024/25. Dr. Jaramillo specializes in the performance of music by contemporary LatinX composers from Latin America and the US. Every composer on this program (including six world premieres and three 30 for 30 compositions) is or was an immigrant. Dr. Jaramillo explores, through these solo piano works, the myriad emotions, perspectives, and approaches inherent in the immigrant experience, intertwining the composers’ own cultural backgrounds with those of their new homes.
Dr. Jaramillo will perform new compositions by 30 for 30 composers Paola Márquez, Jorge Salazar and Josh Rodriguez. Piano Spheres 2022/23 and 2023/24 Stein Resident Artists William Chapman Nyaho and Althea Waites continue to advise our organization regarding issues related to diversity and inclusion.
