Join us for the world premiere of Pedacito de Tierra (Little Piece of Land), a powerful new work that weaves oral histories from the Puerto Rican diaspora in Minnesota into a contemporary chamber music performance.
Led by multi–GRAMMY®-nominated saxophonist José Antonio Zayas Cabán and the {Trés} Chamber Music Trio, Pedacito de Tierra layers community voices, electronics, saxophones, and piano to explore belonging, resilience, and cultural memory. The evening will also include a special reading of a new children’s book that brings Puerto Rican culture and landscapes to life for younger audiences. This reading adds another dimension of storytelling to the event, weaving together literature, music, and oral histories.
This premiere event celebrates culture, history, and imagination—bringing together music and storytelling to honor the Puerto Rican community in Minnesota and beyond.
