Pianist, composer, humanitarian and activist Danilo Pérez believes that a united global perspective for the arts and social justice are the keys to moving humanity forward in harmony. With Crisálida, Perez has convened his Global Messengers — former Berklee College of Music students hailing from Palestine, Greece, Iraq, Jordan and the United States — to contribute their respective cultural learnings and personal experiences with the goal of building community through music, without borders. History will reveal Crisálida yet another one of Pérez's crowning achievements. Now after four decades as a professional musician, some of which has been spent with the world-acclaimed Wayne Shorter Quartet and leading his own projects, Pérez has now achieved living legend status.
