“Alom plays Calvo’s four Intermezzos, arguably the composer’s finest work, with WARMTH and CARE, channeling the uncanny combination of charm and emotional distance in the music.”

About Me
Ahmed Alom - the Cuban-born pianist, composer, and conductor moves fluidly between concert halls and jazz clubs, between the music of Bach and Afro-Cuban rhythm, between the stage and the podium — and makes every crossing feel inevitable. He defies categorization. As a composer, his works have been premiered by Yuja Wang with the New York Philharmonic, by violinist Tessa Lark, and also at International Trumpet Guild Festival. As a collaborator, his partners range from Teddy Abrams, Louisville Orchestra, the New World Symphony and People of Earth for performances of “Tentación” by Dafnis Prieto. Additionally, Ahmed collaborated with Michael League, Pedrito Martinez and Antonio Sanchez with the project “Ellipsis”, headlining the Havana Jazz Festival 2025.
