Arturo O'Farrill and Vincent Hsu to Make U.S. Debut at Flushing Town Hall
Flushing Town Hall will host the limited engagement as a single-night event.
Arturo O'Farrill and Vincent Hsu are set to make their U.S. debut together in a one-night-only performance at Flushing Town Hall. The engagement brings the two musicians to the Queens venue for a single scheduled appearance.
Six-time Grammy Award-winning pianist Arturo O'Farrill and multi-award-winning Taiwanese bassist Vincent Hsu reunite for their first-ever U.S. performance together following their joint debut at Havana's International Jazz Plaza Festival last year.
Spirits From Both Sides pairs O'Farrill's legendary Afro-Latin jazz tradition with Hsu's fusion of jazz, Afro-Cuban music, and Taiwanese roots—creating a brand-new Afro-Latin-Taiwanese jazz sound. This one-night-only concert brings together acclaimed musicians from both lineages, offering a musical snapshot of the World's Borough's rich cultural diversity. A dance floor will be set up for the event.
After the performance, the audience can stick around for a post-concert conversation between O'Farrill and Hsu, moderated by Tracy Hyter-Suffern, former Executive Director of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem.
The concert is co-presented by Flushing Town Hall and Belongó, with additional support from the Taipei Cultural Center in New York.
