A FILM BY MARCIA JARMEL AND KEN SCHNEIDER
“BLENDS MUSIC, FAMILY, AND POLITICS FOR AN INSPIRING, SPIRITED, AND BRILLIANTLY CRAFTED FILM THAT LEAVES YOU UPLIFTED, AFFIRMING THE POWER OF ART.”
The film
Virtuoso Afro-Cuban-born brothers—violinist Ilmar and pianist Aldo—live on opposite sides of a geopolitical chasm a half-century wide. Tracking their parallel lives in New York and Havana, their poignant reunion, and their momentous first performances together, Los Hermanos/The Brothers offers a nuanced, often startling view of estranged nations through the lens of music and family.
Featuring an electrifying, genre-bending score, composed by Cuban Aldo López-Gavilán, performed with his American brother, Ilmar, and with guest appearances by maestro Joshua Bell and the Harlem Quartet.
DIVIDED BY POLITICS.
UNITED BY MUSIC.
