About the Artists
Duo Rengel & Alom with special guest Juan Diego Villalobos
Duo Rengel & Alom is an ensemble formed in 2019 by violinist Ruben Rengel and pianist Ahmed Alom, which explores versatile and bold programming rooted in classical and Latin American music. Both classically trained at Manhattan School of Music, they each also grew up with the popular traditions of their respective countries, Cuba and Venezuela, which allows them to take on improvisatory forms at the same time as they perform canonic classical repertoire. As an ensemble they have performed at Musical Storefronts by Kaufman Center, Linton Chamber Music Festival and The Sembrich Museum as Flonzaley Artists in Residency.
