Tony Succar live in Washington

Experience Tony Succar live on October 18th

Tony Succar is scheduled to perform at the Howard Theatre in Washington, D.C. on October 18, 2026. Succar is a Peruvian-American musician, composer, and producer known for his vibrant and energetic blend of Latin music, particularly salsa, with influences from pop, jazz, and Afro-Caribbean rhythms. He gained international recognition for his project “Viva Perú,” a series of arrangements of popular songs reimagined in a salsa style featuring diverse instrumentalists and vocalists. His work frequently incorporates large ensemble arrangements and emphasizes powerful horn sections and dynamic percussion.

The Howard Theatre holds significant cultural importance as a historic performing arts venue. Originally opening in 1910, it quickly became a prominent entertainment destination for both Black and white audiences during the era of racial segregation – though with segregated seating initially. Known as “The Jewel of T Street,” it hosted many renowned performers including Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Lena Horne. After falling into disrepair, the theatre underwent a substantial restoration completed in 2012 and reopened as a fully functioning performance space dedicated to showcasing diverse artistic expressions while preserving its legacy.
