First Fridays! returns to The Bronx Museum of the Arts, with the musical stylings of Chris Washburne and the SYOTOS Band. Check out the info on the event below…

FRIDAY OCTOBER 7, 6:00 – 10:00pm

Trombonist Chris Washburne and his Latin jazz group SYOTOS dish out sassy harmonies, smart arrangements, and tunes that make you want to dance. It won’t take you long to figure out why The New York Times calls him “one of the best trombonists in New York.” He’s performed with all-stars across a huge range of styles, from Tito Puente to Justin Timberlake and Marc Anthony. Washburne has worked with Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute for over 12 years, fostering a long-term commitment to reaching new audiences, and developing a performance experience that reflects the community’s love for Latin music and its history.

This is a FREE program!
