Hailed as “the dean of Latin jazz” and “one of the world’s great virtuosic pianists” by The New York Times, multi-Grammy Award-winner Chucho Valdés has recorded over eighty CD’s during his illustrious career, performing with countless jazz masters, including Herbie Hancock, Dizzy Gillespie, Wynton Marsalis and Chick Corea.
Whether Chucho Valdés is performing a gentle ballad or a rousing foot-stomper, his joy in playing and his love of the music always shines through. He can tickle the ivories with the soft grace of Bill Evans and dazzle with the thunderous dexterity of Art Tatum or Oscar Peterson.— All About Jazz

Begun as DanceWorks in 2008, the UConn Dance Company has since evolved into a 50-member powerhouse of talented, passionate, and devoted dancers. Every aspect of their show is designed by students, from choreography to staging, music and lighting. The dancers are as comfortable with techno hip-hop as they are with lyrical ballet, and move easily from jazz to musical theater.
