Next Wednesday, jazz trumpeter, pianist and composer Arturo Sandoval will take the Manship Theatre stage as part of the Arts Council’s River City Jazz Masters Series.
As a young boy, Sandoval performed on the streets of his native Cuba. Since then, he’s risen through the ranks. Over the course of his career, he has won 10 Grammy Awards, six Billboard Awards and an Emmy Award. In 2013, President Obama awarded Sandoval with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
