About This Event
Equilibrio: Richard Peña Jazz Trio takes place on Saturday, July 11, 2026 at 7:00 PM at Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center in Chicago, Illinois. The event is hosted at 4048 West Armitage Avenue.
Presented during Richard Peña’s stay at La Resi, the SRBCC artist residency, this special album presentation draws on Puerto Rico’s Afro-Caribbean traditions and modern jazz. The program is rooted in rhythms such as bomba, plena, guaracha, and son, and it reflects Peña’s search for balance between tradition and innovation through the trio’s ongoing musical conversation.
The evening also supports SRBCC’s Artist Fund, which helps finance artist fees and sustain the center’s commitment to paying artists with dignity. Donations directly support opportunities for local, visiting, emerging, and established artists of color.
