Daniel Rojas and Ensemble Apex String Quartet

A concert to leave you with a spring in your step

The music of Latin America is infused with a classical sensibility in this inviting, high energy concert featuring tango, salsa, and mambo.

Bliss of Heaven: Music of Latin America

Chilean-born pianist, composer and tango expert Daniel Rojas reimagines Latin America’s best-loved music in this concert for piano and strings.

Supported by the high-energy Ensemble Apex String Quartet led by violinist Anna da Silva Chen, Rojas' sensitive arrangements and soulful original works are a heavenly alchemy of tango, mambo, salsa and Andean folk music fused with classical sensibilities.

The program features music from Rojas’ recent recording, BLISS OF HEAVEN: Music of the New World, including Piazzolla’s dramatic Libertango and Chucho Valdés’ danceable Mambo Influenciado.

Experience the passion of Latin American music as you've never heard it before.
