Danilo Perez Tickets

Danilo Pérez is a renowned pianist, composer, and cultural ambassador born in Panama on December 29, 1965. As the youngest member of Dizzy Gillespie's United Nation Orchestra in 1989, Pérez has long balanced virtuosic performance with educational leadership. He founded the Panama Jazz Festival in 2003 to celebrate jazz education and cross-cultural collaboration, and in 2009 he established the Berklee Global Jazz Institute to mentor the next generation of improvisers. A UNESCO Artist for Peace and former UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, Pérez has been recognized with the Smithsonian Legacy Award (2009) and has contributed to the international jazz canon through collaborations, commissions, and acclaimed recordings.

Beyond his work as a leader, Pérez is celebrated for his collaborative spirit, notably his Grammy-winning work with the Wayne Shorter Quartet on Alegría (2003) and Beyond the Sound Barrier (2005). His discography as a leader spans 14+ albums, including Crisálida (2022) and Lumen (2024) with the Global Messengers and Bohuslän Big Band. Pérez continues to tour and teach, bringing his Panamanian roots into a global language of improvisation and creativity.

Whether you’re new to his music or a longtime fan, secure your seats to experiences that blend Latin rhythms, modern jazz, and big-ensemble textures with a thoughtful social mission behind every note.
