ADCA CONCERT SERIES

SEASON XIV

ADCA Orchestra

This season we celebrate our 14 years of residence at the Aaron Davis Hall. In 1980, Dominican pianist Tilsia Brens, leading a group of artists from the diaspora, had a vision that became a mission: The showcasing of Dominican and Latin American talent at a time when these communities were not seen in the most positive of lights in the United States.

Today ADCA works to foster appreciation for the classical and folkloric music of the Dominican Republic and Latin America by creating performance spaces for its artists, bringing live performances and supporting educational programs in communities in Upper Manhattan.
