Back by popular demand! The inescapable Calixto Oviedo and the Cuban Jazz Train return to reshape the connection between Afro-Cuban music and jazz at Live on the Plaza. Originating from a common African polyrhythmic foundation, the group playfully combines traditional Spanish elements and distinct blues inflections for a sound that is truly their own. Oviedo, a Latin Grammy nominee for La Rumba del Siglo (2000), has collaborated with renowned global artists such as Paquito D'Rivera, Arturo Sandoval, Gonzalo Rubalcaba and Chucho Valdés. Drawing on their rich musical roots and a healthy dose of soul, Calixto Oviedo and the Cuban Jazz Train are undoubtedly crowd-pleasers.

Live on the Plaza is a series of outdoor concerts on our Parker and Vann Thomson Plaza for the Arts.

Happy hour is from 6 to 7 p.m. Enjoy $8 wines and $6 beers.

Please note: VIP tickets with table service can be purchased for up to 4 guests. For orders up to 3 tickets, you may be seated at a shared table with another party. Table locations are assigned in the order of purchase. General admission tickets are seated on a first come, first served basis.
