THE TABLE SESSIONS: DANIEL DE JESÚS
SHOWTIMES • JUNE 11 @ 7PM | JUNE 12 @ 7PM
BARTRAM’S GARDEN • 5400 Lindbergh Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19143
Enter into an immersive evening of sound and taste curated by cellist/vocalist Daniel de Jesús. The profound emotions of Federico García Lorca's Sonetos de Amor Oscuro — poetry chronicling a forbidden queer love amidst the turmoil of the Spanish Civil War — resonate through the strings of a cello trio.
As at all Table Sessions, the art is paired with a delicious meal. With this Session, experience the rich culinary heritage of Granada, Lorca's home, through a curated menu featuring dishes that evoke the flavors of Andalusia.

Daniel de Jesús is a composer and songwriter who weaves visual and sonic tapestries with a mesmerizing touch. Drawing from medieval and baroque aesthetics, their art pulsates with vibrant colors and deep symbolism, often inspired by Latin American Baroque themes. With a degree in fine art from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, they exhibit extensively across the Mid-Atlantic region and share insights in published books.
In music, de Jesús crafts dramatic compositions blending tribal beats, ambient soundscapes, and passionate vocals, earning acclaim in Baroque pop and Neo-Goth genres. They've released nine studio albums and collaborate widely with renowned artists and theater companies like David Antonio Cruz, The Bearded Ladies Cabaret, and White Box Theater. Currently, as Music Education and Community Outreach Director for AMLA at Esperanza, they champion Latin music and culture, particularly among youth in the Philadelphia/Delaware Valley region.
