The Carlos Odria Ensemble is a high-energy acoustic ensemble that performs original compositions and arrangements of jazz standards and Latin American popular music. The group delivers an exciting blend of international styles such as bossanova, Afro-Peruvian festejo, rumba flamenca, and Cuban son with an improvisational approach inspired by the rich tradition of American jazz.

Funding for this concert will be provided in part by a grant from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts (risca.online), through an appropriation by the Rhode Island General Assembly, a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and private funders.
