Bach Aria Soloists is utterly thrilled to be invited, along with great friend and trumpet virtuoso Rodney Marsalis, to perform at the Cayman Arts Festival in Grand Cayman!
BAS will also lead master classes and conduct outreach for local students.
The Cayman Arts Festival was originally formed to bring world class music to the Grand Cayman, ranging from classical to opera and jazz, while ensuring music education was among its core purposes. All visiting artists conduct workshops, master classes or performances for the educational benefit of Cayman's youth. Today, CAF produces a two-week festival, after-school programs, and many different projects that serve hundreds of students from the island.
