    About This Event

    Marcos Varela leads a quartet whose writing balances formal structure with open space. In The Django’s close-listening room the group moves between composed themes and elastic improvisation, with Varela’s bass acting as both anchor and conversational lead and the ensemble prioritizing time, tone and group interplay over display.
