JP Jofre & The Festival Orchestra Bear Valley, Ca 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Bear Valley, CA...A recipient of the National Prize of the Arts Grant in Argentina, ever since JP Jofre arrived in New York City, he has been repeatedly highlighted by the New York Times and praised as one of today’s leading artist by the Lincoln Center. Mr. Jofre has taken his form of contemporary tango to some of the most important venues in Asia, Europe, America and the Caribbean as soloist and composer. He has recently collaborated with Paquito D’ Rivera, Gloria Estefan, Symphony Sillicon Valley, Sacramento Philharmonic, Philippe Quint, Fernando Otero, Westchester Jazz Orchestra, Fred Sturm, Esperanza Spalding, Frost Studio Jazz Band, Borislav Strulev, and Nina Beilina among many others....







Mr. Jofre has also received commissions and he has been part of many festivals such as the prestigious Umbria Jazz Festival, Great Performers at Lincoln Center, Seattle Town Hall’s Global Rhythms, Belgorod Music Festival, Sudtirol Jazz Festival, Celebrity Series of Boston, American Virtuosi, Bachanalia Taiwan among others. J.P. Jofre’s first CD features 11-times Grammy Winner Paquito D’ Rivera, who recorded “Primavera”, an original composition of Mr. Jofre. For the World Premier of his Bandoneon Concerto, the Mercury News (R. Scheinin) wrote: “…he is an electrifying composer-bandoneon player..”. On 2012 Mr. Jofre was invited by Free University of Bolzano (Italy) to perform for the homage to Argentinean Nobel Peace Prize Adolfo Perez Esquivel.

“Piazzolla’s music lives or dies with the bandoneon, and Jofre has the technique and personality in abundance for this music. Dressed all in black but for his stylish glasses with white frames, he played with immense personality and confidence…”
The Boston Musical Intelligencer

“the applause at the end of Opera Hispánica’s production of “María” was loudest for the bandoneónist J P Jofre, who took his bow last…”
The New York Times – By Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim
