The University of Wisconsin–Madison Arts Institute, the School of Music, and the Office of Multicultural Arts Initiatives (OMAI) within the Division of Diversity, Equity, and Educational Achievement welcome legendary Afro-Cuban jazz musician Juan de Marcos González as the interdisciplinary artist in residence for the fall 2015 semester. The UW-Madison Arts Institute’s Interdisciplinary Arts Residency Program brings innovative artists to campus to teach semester-long, interdepartmental courses and to publicly present their work for campus and community audiences.
During his residency, notable Cuban artists and groups including Afro-Cuban All Stars, Telmary Diaz, and musical members of his family (who also are part of Afro-Cuban All Stars) will perform in Madison. He will present numerous lectures on the history of Cuban music and teach a course called “Afro-Cuban Music: Roots, Jazz, Hip Hop” and a production course “Afro-Cuban and Hip Hop Music.”
