The Sequester Series - Nelson Rivera
Welcome to the Sequester Series, a weekly concert featuring solo music performers from across the Western New York region. Every Tuesday night in February and March at 8:00 pm, Hallwalls will host a live performance from our theater streamed live to you and viewable on this page. Each stream will cost $7.00, but Hallwalls Members will have free access! Consider this an incentive for becoming a member - buy a membership at any level and get access to the entire Sequester Series ($63 value).
Saxophonist, percussionist Nelson Rivera has been a valued member of the Buffalo music scene for nearly two decades. A former student of Buffalo/Niagara Falls legend Chu Nero, Nelson has developed a personal sound on tenor and soprano combining astonishing technique with a natural lyricism. He performs with a wide variety of projects across a range of styles including Tim Clarke's Soul-Tet, Sol y Sombra, Wooden Cities, Wendell Rivera's Latin Jazz Ensemble, Buffalo Jazz Octet and many others.
Hallwalls Music Program is made possible through public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency and a grant from the Cullen Foundation.
