Mr. Hernández has long been considered one of the most prominent composers and performers on the Latin Jazz and Salsa music scene,
and he is best known as the leader and producer of the Grammy-winning Spanish Harlem Orchestra. His contributions to the genre span
five decades including collaborations with Ruben Blades, Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, Ray Baretto, and Gloria Estefan. Since its inception
in the early 1980's, Oscar has also been responsible for charting the musical course of the Rubén Blades Band. He is also an in-demand
session player, arranger and producer for projects such as Broadway musicals, hit shows, and film documentaries.
The evening's program program will include several pieces that Mr. Hernández has specifically written and arranged for the Ensemble.
