    Born in Cuba, Paquito D’Rivera, composer and saxophonist, is the recipient of the National Medal of the Arts and the first artist in history to win Latin Grammy Awards in both the Classical and Latin Jazz categories. Most recently he received his 9th Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Album for his most recent recording Funk Tango. In addition to his extraordinary performing career as an instrumentalist, Paquito D'Rivera has rapidly gained a reputation as a dynamic composer winning a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship in Music Composition in 2007. His works often reveal his widespread and eclectic musical interests, from Afro-Cuban rhythms and melodies, back to his classical origins. Made possible with support from the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation and the Philadelphia Music Project a program of the Pew Center for Arts and Heritage
