¡Abajo la Lira, Viva el Bongo!
This performance of the UCLA Percussion Ensemble features Cuban composers Jose Ardevol and Javier Diaz; Mexican composers Javier Alvarez, Cesar Gonzalez, Mario Lavista; and Tito Puente of Puerto Rico.
This event is made possible by the David and Irmgard Dobrow Fund. Classical music was a passion of the Dobrows, who established a generous endowment at The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music to make programs like this possible. We are proud to celebrate this program as part of the 2022 - 23 Dobrow Series.
