Casita Maria Center for Arts & Education and Arturo O’Farrill are partnering to present six free performances by the new ensemble BronX BandA. The goal of the project is to break down barriers between performers and audiences and build demand for jazz by bringing it to the streets and local businesses of the Hunts Point/ Longwood neighborhoods in the South Bronx, performing in non-traditional locations in order to weave the music into the daily lives of the community’s youth and families. The improvisational ensemble will integrate local musicians and collaborative artists, melding traditional jazz with new compositions that incorporate the sounds and stories of the community.
