Kalí Rodríguez-Peña & Mélange
“. . . if Wynton Marsalis says you’re good at the trumpet, then that’s a big deal.” — The New York Times
Latin Grammy-nominated Cuban trumpeter and composer Kalí Rodríguez-Peña is one of the leading voices of a young generation of Cuban musicians living in New York City. His sound fuses the traditional motifs of his native Cuba with a passion for jazz classicism influenced by Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, and Freddie Hubbard.

Smith Fine Arts Series
The Smith Fine Arts Series has been bringing great performances to the campus of Western Oregon University since 1977. We present a series of events that is diverse, inclusive, and accessible, and through our educational outreach initiatives, we connect the community with professional performing artists from around the world. There are no dress codes, no pretense, and no barriers to entry beyond the ticket price - and for WOU students, even that is waived! Join us for a show and see what you've been missing!
