✨ Friday at Regattabar ✨

What does it mean to become who you are?

In Becoming, Alex Gao explores the beauty, uncertainty, and transformation of life in your twenties through a captivating blend of original music and reimagined covers. Fusing pop, jazz, world music, and unexpected avant-garde elements, this deeply personal performance traces the journey between expectation and self-discovery.

Joining Gao is acclaimed Cuban drummer Francisco Mela, whose dynamic artistry has earned him collaborations with jazz icons including McCoy Tyner, Joe Lovano, Kenny Barron, and Chucho Valdés. Together with an exceptional ensemble, they’ll create an evening that is intimate, thought-provoking, and unlike anything else on our stage this season.

Experience a performance where every song marks a turning point—from seeming into becoming.
