Greg Zelek, Magela Herrera, Alvaro Bermudez, Yarelils Gandul & Alex Hernandez

As part of the Madison Symphony Orchestra’s concert organ series, organist Greg Zelek, the son of a Cuban mother and Polish-Irish father, taps his maternal musical roots for an evening of Latin American classics, jazz and popular music. Along with his former guitar teacher, Alvaro Bermudez, Zelek assembled a band of musicians from his hometown of Miami for a performance of works by Astor Piazzolla, Joaquín Rodrigo and others. Very few Hispanic composers wrote organ music, which makes this an even rarer program.
