Los Hermanos: Documentary Screening and Q&A

Politics, music, and family collide in Marcia Jarmel and Ken Schneider’s moving documentary, Los Hermanos (The Brothers). Separated for decades by tensions between the United States and Cuba, two brothers—pianist Aldo and violinist Ilmar—reunite for their first collaboration as professional musicians. Featuring Aldo’s genre-defying score and performances by Joshua Bell and the Harlem Quartet, Los Hermanos offers a nuanced exploration of estranged nations, fraternal love, and the unifying power of music.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with directors Marcia Jarmel and Ken Schneider, and the Gavilán brothers.

This activity is supported in part by an award from the Michigan Arts & Culture Council and the NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS.
