Leyla McCalla

Leyla McCalla is playing The Reser on October 7th. Known for her unique blend of Haitian folk, jazz, and classical cello, McCalla brings a thoughtful and often narrative approach to her music. This show is a chance to hear her latest material alongside favorites from her catalog, which often explores themes of identity, diaspora, and social justice. This Wednesday evening performance at the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts in Beaverton offers an intimate setting for McCalla's nuanced sound. It's a good fit for listeners who appreciate artists with a strong lyrical voice and a sophisticated musical palette, in a comfortable, modern theater environment.
