Miami | 08.13.2009
It’s rare to find a musician with command of both classical music and jazz. It’s extraordinary when a virtuoso performer seamlessly moves between both with style and grace, as does Federico Britos, a master violinist who performs Friday at the Manuel Aritme Theater in Miami.
For half a century, the Uruguayan-born Britos has performed in symphonies, opera orchestras, jazz bands, conjuntos and charangas. He’s had a career that’s allowed him to collaborate with legends, among them Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Astor Piazzolla, João Gilberto, Bebo Valdés, and Israel “Cachao” López.
The concert, presented by WDNA 88.9-FM, will feature his imaginative and jazzy interpretations of danzón, the graceful music from Cuba that is a lost art. |♫|

Where: Manuel Artime Theater,900 SW First Street Miami
Tickets: $15 for WDNA members, $20 for general admission, available through the station at 305-662-8889
