After four stunning recitals during the Cayman Piano Festival earlier this month, CayMusicA will switch genres to jazz on Thursday, 30 Oct. at its next Music at the Library event. Among the performers for this edition of the monthly music series is popular Caymanian multi-instrumentalist Beneil Miller, who last performed for CayMusicA at this year’s Cayman Arts Festival last February. Joining Miller fresh off his performance in the Piano Festival, is young Cuban pianist Marlon Cortes, who will show he is just as adept in the jazz genre as he is in the classical genre. Other performers for the event will include musicians Jonathan McDonald, and Kharim Samuels & Core. The CayMusicA Music at the Library events take place each month at the George Town Public Library. CayMusicA, the not-for-profit organisation that supports music and the arts in the community, organises these events to enable musicians to perform for residents and visitors. “As the George Town Library is home to our Shigeru Kawai grand piano, it is the perfect location to invite world-class musicians alongside our exceptional local talent to perform,” said CayMusicA Executive Director Marius Gaina. “The library is an intimate and acoustically refined setting, and we are grateful to the Cayman Islands Public Library Service for allowing us to make this special place the permanent home of our piano and our concert series.” Glen Inanga, artistic director of CayMusicA, said, “We believe music has the power to uplift and bring joy to people, and we are keen to create events that enable everyone to attend. We even did something recently on World Mental Health Day with Autism Cayman at the University College of the Cayman Islands, which really opened our eyes to what wonderful concerts can take place and what CayMusicA can do to facilitate them.” Attendees of Thursday evening’s concert can also enjoy a special promotion at Casanova’s By the Sea restaurant after the show and receive 20% off the regular menu prices. Music at the Library events are also planned for each month up to June 2026 and CayMusicA’s Cayman Arts Festival, the annual series of events, will run from 4 to 14 Feb. 2026.
