The Cuban pianist Harold López-Nussa was born into music. His mother was a piano teacher and his father a professional drummer. His uncle and grandmother were both piano players.
While he was growing up in Central Havana, López-Nussa’s family gathered at his grandmother’s house every Sunday for musical reunions. “I remember my parents and my uncle playing jazz, classical music, and some French music as well,” he says. His grandmother was from France.

Folk musician Patty Larkin, 72, tripped and fell in a dark room during a family vacation last June, suffering a spinal cord injury that could have left her a quadriplegic. On July 13, Larkin will make her Outer Cape comeback at the Payomet Performing Arts Center in Truro with veteran singer-songwriters Cliff Eberhardt, John Gorka, and Lucy Kaplansky in a group show titled “On a Summer’s Night.”
