Take a musical trip to Cuba with World Community’s next film series offering, Los Hermanos: The Brothers available online anytime from Sept. 10 – 12.
Virtuoso Afro-Cuban-born brothers – violinist Ilmar and pianist and composer Aldo – live on opposite sides of a geopolitical chasm a half-century wide. Tracking their parallel lives in New York and Havana, their poignant reunion, and their momentous first performances together, Los Hermanos: The Brothers offers a nuanced, often startling view of estranged nations through the lens of music and family.
Featuring an electrifying, genre-bending score, composed by Aldo López-Gavilán, performed with his brother, Ilmar, and with guest appearances by maestro Joshua Bell and the Harlem Quartet.
This screening is co-sponsored by the Immigrant Welcome Centre with funding from the province of B.C.
