Bebop and Beyond As the son of Latin music legend Chico O’Farrill, Grammy Award-winning pianist Arturo O’Farrill might be expected to have some formidable musical chops of his own. And so he does. Known for bringing experimental flair to traditional Latin rhythms, he founded the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra in 2002 at the request of Jazz at Lincoln Center. There, the 18-piece group honed its sound as the resident ensemble before departing in 2007 to pursue outside educational and performance opportunities. These days, the progressive powerhouse the Chicago Tribune deems “a potentially definitive Latin jazz band” is preserving this dynamic musical heritage one concert at a time.

ounded in the late 1980s, the Moscow Festival Ballet was born out of a newfound creative freedom experienced by Russia’s top dancers and choreographers. Vibrant and technically masterful, the 50-member ensemble features artists from the country’s most prestigious ballet companies and dance schools. One such talent is artistic director Sergei Radchenko, a 25-year veteran of the esteemed Bolshoi Ballet. Interpreting his vision and the music of Sergei Prokofiev, performers bring the classic fairy tale “Cinderella” to life — complete with a sinister stepmother, scheming stepsisters and, of course, Prince Charming.
