Aperio, Music of the Americas presents a grooving program of minimalist music and Lo-Fi jams perfect for a summer evening.

The concert is anchored by the full-length, live orchestral performance of DJ Sun’s latest release, Loveletter. Sun’s work and creative edges are steeped in diverse musical experiences drawing from his roots in Rotterdam and Suriname.  With elements of soul, jazz, and some reggae and dance influences, this concert is sure to have something for everyone.

Loveletter’s soulful arc is complemented by Steve Reich’s rock-inspired Radio Rewrite, and his Duet for Two Violins and Chamber Orchestra – a work of stunning, crystalline beauty. The program also features Michael Torke’s Blue Pacific, a dazzling pop-inspired work in a premiere arrangement for solo piano and string orchestra. Maestro Marlon Chen conducts Aperio’s orchestra with guest soloists.

All performances at Miller Outdoor Theatre are FREE!
