*DIVIDED BY POLITICS. UNITED BY MUSIC.*
Virtuoso Afro-Cuban-born brothers—violinist Ilmar and pianist Aldo—live
on opposite sides of a geopolitical chasm a half-century wide. Tracking
their parallel lives in New York and Havana, their poignant reunion, and
their momentous first performances together, Los Hermanos/The Brothers
offers a nuanced, often startling view of estranged nations through the
lens of music and family.
Featuring an electrifying, genre-bending score, composed by Cuban Aldo
López-Gavilán, performed with his American brother, Ilmar, and with
guest appearances by maestro Joshua Bell and the Harlem Quartet.
Ilmar Gavilán, violinist and music director of The Harlem String Quartet
will join us in a prerecorded interview via Zoom and YouTube.
*This a hybrid event. Join us in person in the Lothrop Auditorium or

donations appreciated. $20 suggested ticket price.

reflect also on the meaning of family as a way for individuals (isolated
