Jose Luis has been performing for over thirty years and is highly regarded as a gifted harpist by his peers. Jose Luis is the only harpist to play both the classic concert harp and the Latin lever harp; which requires him to pluck the strings with two different techniques; the first uses his fingertips and the second his nails.
Jose Luis first fell in love with the sound of the harp and began studying in his early teens with Maestro Jose Serrano in Puerto Rico. He later visited Los Angeles to take private lessons with the world-renowned harpist and composer Alfredo Rolando Ortiz.

José Luis lleva más de treinta años tocando el arpa y es muy respetado por sus colegas como un arpista talentoso. José Luis es el único arpista que toca tanto el arpa de concierto clásica como el arpa de palanca latina; lo que requiere que toque las cuerdas con dos técnicas diferentes; la primera utiliza los dedos y la segunda las uñas. José Luis se enamoró por primera vez del sonido del arpa y comenzó a estudiar en su adolescencia con el Maestro José Serrano en Puerto Rico. Más tarde visitó Los Ángeles para tomar clases con el mundialmente reconocido arpista y compositor Alfredo Rolando Ortiz.
Music on the Brain: Defying Expectations
Expectations, patterns, and novelty shape the learning and storage of long-term memories by the hippocampus. Similarly, when improvising, jazz musicians navigate between setting up expectations and defying them with creative spontaneity. When musicians play jazz standards, they generally begin with tried and true patterns with variations. Great music emerges when they defy these patterns. By shattering expectations through innovative reinterpretations, they create something profoundly new and distinct.
Join multi-instrumentalist jazz musician, composer, and educator T.K. Blue, pianist James Austin, and Zuckerman Institute PhD student and NSF Fellow Abhishek Shah for a jazz concert and dialogue exploring the fascinating parallels between neuroscience and jazz improvisation.
Music on the Brain is a collaboration between the National Jazz Museum in Harlem and Columbia University’s Zuckerman Institute with the support of Jazz Foundation of America.

Ariadne Greif is one of today’s most powerful communicators of the song literature. Traversing opera to recital forms, she is sought after for her interpretations of traditional repertoire to world-premieres by today’s compositional luminaries, via her “luminous, expressive voice (New York Times).” We can’t wait to hear this voice soar in the beautiful acoustics of Our Saviour’s Atonement Lutheran Church for this special event! Harpist Bridget Kibbey has toured and recorded with vocal luminaries Dawn Upshaw, Kathleen Battle, to Nick Phan and Iranian Chanteuse Mahsa Vahdat. According to the New York Times, “Kibbey was a marvel once more, her dramatic sweeps and robust lines repeatedly cause for shivers… “
