Jorge Luis Pacheco

Hailing from Havana, Cuba, Jorge Luis Pacheco is one of the leading pianists and musicians of the new generation of Cuban jazz. Winner of the Montreux Jazz Piano Solo Competition in Switzerland, Pacheco is a fiery young pianist with “flying hands.”His music is a confluence of Cuban jazz, Cuban and Afro-Cuban music, American jazz, and classical music with a measure of contemporary pop and soul.

The Kentucky Performing Arts Rising Stars Series brings up-and-coming artists to Louisville, creating opportunities to connect artists and audiences on our stages and in the community. It is made possible through support from the KPA Innovation Fund.
