Arturo O'Farrill live in Costa Mesa

Experience Arturo O'Farrill live on May 7th

Arturo O’Farrill and the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra will perform at Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa, California on May 7, 2027. O’Farrill is a pianist, composer, and educator renowned for his deeply rooted yet forward-thinking approach to Afro Latin jazz. His music blends the rich traditions of Cuban music – including son, mambo, and danzón – with elements of jazz improvisation and contemporary composition. He frequently incorporates original arrangements alongside works by his father, legendary bandleader Chico O’Farrill, and other significant figures in Latin music history. The orchestra itself is known for its virtuosic musicianship and dynamic performances.

Segerstrom Center for the Arts opened in 1985 as the Orange County Performing Arts Center. It has grown to encompass multiple venues including Segerstrom Concert Hall, Samueli Theater, and the American Conservatory Theater. The Center serves as a major cultural hub for Orange County and presents a diverse range of performances including Broadway shows, classical music concerts, dance performances, and family programming. Its architectural design is notable for its modernist aesthetic and integration with the surrounding Segerstrom Center Arts District.
