Pre-show Artist Talk with Roberto Fonseca

Roberto Fonseca has been hailed as “one of the world’s great pianists and one of the finest of Cuba’s new generation of musicians” (The Evening Standard). He joins us on stage before his performance at the Chan Centre for a special artist talk, moderated by renowned percussionist and Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Provost and VP Academic Dr. Sal Ferreras. Their conversation will touch on Fonseca’s fascinating life and music, including touring with Buena Vista Social Club and the inspiration behind his latest album ABUC which he describes as a “review” of the rich history of music in Cuba.
