Tickets: $25 general admission. Call 414/276-5760 to order.

Ernan-LopezNussa2_web-(2).jpg

Ernán López Nussa, piano; Jorge Alexander Perez, bass; Jimmy Branley, drums

Born and raised in Havana, Ernán López Nussa melds the rhythms and melodic influences of the Americas and Europe to create modern compositions reflective of the diverse history and culture of Cuba.

López Nussa studied classical piano at a young age, building a solid foundation for the next stage of his musical education as he worked with Oriente Lopez, the director/composer of the jazz fusion group AfroCuba in the 1980s. Since then, he’s developed a distinctive style of his own, garnering high praise from both audiences and critics alike. Most recently, López Nussa worked with singer and dancer Omara Portuondo, an original member of Cuarteto d’Aida and the famed Buena Vista Social Club.

Tickets: $25 general admission. Call 414/276-5760 to order.

Parking will be available at Milwaukee Eye Care, 1684 N. Prospect Avenue.

Frank Glazer, pianist

FrankGlazer1_web.jpg

Master pianist Frank Glazer returns to the Conservatory for an encore performance sure to rival last year’s sold-out concert.

Now in his 96th year of life, Glazer will perform the works of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Ravel, and Liszt—whose 200th birthday we commemorate this year—in the inviting ambience of the Helen Bader Recital Hall. Don’t miss your chance to experience this accomplished, seasoned artist in person!


[Frank Glazer’s] playing is fashioned out of a genuine feeling for beauty and shows an affinity for the spirit of classical as well as romantic music.
—Die Neue Zeitung, Berlin

Tickets: $25 general admission. Call 414/276-5760 to order.
