The Ensemble
The Don Adriano Ensemble offers music where boundaries fade away. Singing in Spanish, French, English, and Italian, they blend Hispanic roots with eclectic influences such as Mozart, Metallica, Frank Zappa, and Guastavino. Led by Adrian Rodriguez, a Canadian-Venezuelan classical singer, guitarist, and composer, their repertoire combines his original compositions with rearranged Venezuelan folk songs.
Alongside his classical voice training, Adrian had a career in Venezuelan rock fusion music. It was during this period that he began his collaboration with Gabriel Evangelista, a pianist and composer influenced by Latin, jazz, and contemporary music. The combination of Adrian’s powerful voice and ear-catching compositions with Gabriel’s intricate arrangements creates a unique synergy that results in an authentic, modern sound.
