Jorge Luis Pacheco sold out our Prince Theatre! Due to this significant audience demand, we’ve moved the performance to our Zellerbach Theatre instead. Those with tickets for the original venue have been moved and notified, but if you have any questions, please contact the Box Office at PLA-BoxOffice@upenn.edu or 215.898.3900.
One of Cuba’s most extraordinary pianists makes his Philadelphia debut. Hailed as “a phenomenon of the piano” by Arturo O'Farrill, Jorge Luis Pacheco is a classically trained virtuoso with a creative mastery of the Afro-Cuban, modern jazz and classical traditions. This rising star and winner of the Montreux Jazz Piano Solo Competition is “a revelation, his hands a virtual blur” in electrifying performances that are “an alternately fiery and ornate display of superior technique.” (JazzTimes)
“This young musician has a very bright future.” - Wynton Marsalis
