About this Event

January doesn’t stand a chance against this heat. James Sanders & Conjunto are bringing the rhythms of Latin America straight to you, and the result is pure electricity.

Sanders’s violin leads the charge, weaving his classical roots into the pulse of jazz improvisation, all carried by the irresistible grooves of the Caribbean. Think rumba, son, danzón, bolero—music that keeps you swaying in your seat one moment and pulling you to the dance floor the next. Conjunto’s lineup is stacked: Kevin O’Connell on piano, Jean-Christophe Leroy on drums and timbales, Joe Rendon on congas, José Porcayo on bass, and Steve Eisen on reeds. Together, they create a sound that moves between hushed intimacy and explosive joy. It’s Afro-roots, salsa, and jazz colliding in the best possible way.

And if the music brings the fire, painter Anna Lentz brings the color. Her canvases burst with bold, saturated hues that grab your attention from across the room, then invite you closer to soak up the detail. Her work vibrates with energy, making it an ideal pairing with Conjunto’s music and the perfect antidote to a gray winter.

Latin rhythms, fearless art, and a night of joy you’ll feel long after it ends. January just got a whole lot hotter.
