Miguel Zenon live in Camden

Experience Miguel Zenon live on August 31st

Miguel Zenón, a highly regarded Puerto Rican saxophonist and composer, will perform at Ulysses Wiggins Waterfront Park in Camden, New Jersey on August 31, 2026. Zenón’s musical style is rooted in jazz but extensively incorporates elements of traditional Puerto Rican music – specifically *bomba* and *plena* – alongside influences from classical and contemporary Latin American forms. His work often features complex rhythmic structures and harmonic explorations, showcasing both virtuosic improvisation and meticulously crafted compositions. He frequently explores themes of cultural identity and diaspora within his music.

The park features green spaces, walking paths, a fishing pier, and a performance stage designed to host outdoor events. It serves as a key recreational area for residents and visitors, offering views of the Philadelphia skyline. The park aims to provide accessible public space and promote community engagement along the Delaware River waterfront.
