Your Symphony is Pleased to Present a Vibrant & Modern Take on Musical Classics
Join the Santa Cruz Symphony as we shine a light on our Recital Series with a concert by San Francisco-based trio Luminance!
They will present a concert of original compositions that draw on their Latin, classical, and jazz musical roots, as well as their take on classics by artists ranging from Frédéric Chopin to Charles Aznavour and from Nat King Cole to Buena Vista Social Club.
Formed in the Mission District of San Francisco, Luminance performs original works and innovative arrangements inspired by Latin-American music styles and classical traditions. The group features Amelia Romano on acoustic and electric lever harp, Matt Ebisuzaki on c-rotary-valve trumpet and Saul Richmond-Rakerd on cello.The trio combines fiery rhythms, lush chords and soaring melodies with classics to create a subtle yet charismatic musical experience. Their recently released EP, Late Dawn, showcases their many musical influences and interests, ranging from mid-century French pop music to Latin jazz improvisations. They have enjoyed sharing their unique music with audiences up and down the west coast since they began playing together several years ago.
Enjoy this immensely talented trio in an intimate setting at the Samper Recital Hall at Cabrillo College next Sunday, April 10 at 2PM!
