KALAMAZOO—One of today's hottest young bands, Tiempo Libre is coming to Western Michigan University's Miller Auditorium at 8 p.m. Friday, April 12.

Equally at home in concert halls, jazz clubs and dance venues, Tiempo Libre’s Miami-based members are modern heirs to the rich tradition of the music of their native Cuba. Classically trained at Cuba’s premier conservatories, today the group is a hit in the U.S. and abroad, celebrated for its sophisticated performances of timba, a joyous mix of high-voltage Latin jazz.

As part of this special presentation, audience members will be seated on the Miller Auditorium stage while Tiempo Libre plays. The ticket price includes two drink tickets that can be used for beer, wine or soft drinks. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early for a preview of the 2013-14 Miller Auditorium season beginning in the lobby at 7 p.m. Tickets are limited for this unique event
