🔥 Music without boundaries.
Composer, conductor, and trombonist Freddy Fuego celebrates the release of his newest album with a 15-piece orchestra. Exploring the intersections of jazz, hip-hop, classical, and beyond, Fuego forges a distinct musical language that transcends genre, inviting audiences to experience music without boundaries.

Before the concert, experience the music from a different perspective. On October 23, "Inside the Orchestra" offers a behind-the-scenes look at the 15-piece ensemble in rehearsal, exploring conducting, collaboration, and improvisation (Presented in partnership with Seattle JazzED).

This project is supported, in part, by 4Culture
Presented in partnership with Town Hall Seattle
