Description
Pianist, composer, humanitarian and activist Danilo Pérez believes that a united global perspective for the arts and social justice are the keys to moving humanity forward in harmony. With 'Crisálida', Perez has convened his Global Messengers - former Berklee College of Music students hailing from Palestine, Greece, Iraq, Jordan and the United States - to contribute their respective cultural learnings and personal experiences with the goal of building community through music, without borders.

History will reveal 'Crisálida' yet another one of Pérez's crowning achievements. Now after four decades as a professional musician, some of which has been spent with the world-acclaimed Wayne Shorter Quartet and leading his own projects, Pérez has now achieved living legend status. Most recently, he won the prestigious 2021 Doris Duke Artist Award.

"I want to continue my journey of exploring this pathway of using the power of music to unite and humanise. I want to promote music that acts as a bridge and to inspire younger artists to continue the journey and leave something positive that other generations can draw upon. In these challenging times, it is essential to activate the power of the arts to be resilient and reimagine a new world. Welcome to Crisálida." Danilo Pérez
