Additional Information
Pianist, composer, arranger, teacher and conductor Julian Gutierrez Vinardell regularly offers jazz and world music evenings with his students at the Claude-Champagne Room of the University of Montreal. One of them was the subject of an excellent interview with my colleague Michel Labrecque last spring. This time, another of these attractive Latin evenings will serve as an antidote to the cold and the growing darkness of this seriously wintry December. It will take place on Monday, December 8, 2025, still at the Claude-Champagne room. I met Julian to talk about this concert in particular, and his program choices (including Michel Legrand’s Waltz of Lilacs, in a Latin version, of course!). Note that, as usual, the concert is completely free.
