Grammy- and Juno-nominated trumpet player and composer Rachel Therrien stretches her music in new directions. Melodic and dissonant, her expression invites listeners into an imaginative space, and her compelling performances leave audiences captivated long after the set breaks. Tonight’s appearance at the festival features music from her critically acclaimed album Mi Hogar, her first release with Latin Jazz Project. Expect an abundance of soulful human connection and interpretations of seminal works from Irakere, Buena Vista Social Club, Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane, and more.
