Angelo Monroy Trio

Angelo Monroy:

Angelo Monroy is a Los Angeles-based keyboardist, composer, educator, and arts administrator whose work explores the intersections of culture, identity, and sound. Born into a family of musicians, Angelo's artistic journey has been shaped by a diverse palette of musical influences — from jazz, classical, and funk to salsa, clonston, and synth-pop. His playing reflects this rich variety, always grounded in authenticity, emotional nuance, and a commitment to connection.

A passionate advocate for using music as a bridge across cultural and social divides, Angelo approaches each performance with a deep sense of purpose. He is currently on faculty at the prestigious Los Angeles County High School of the Arts (LACHSA), both teaching within their jazz program as well as being Assistant Program Coordinator to the entire music department. Before stepping into his position at LACHSA, Angelo served as Personnel Manager to the Reno Chamber Orchestra as well as Program Manager at the University of Nevada, Reno’s School of the Arts. During his tenures, he played a key role in producing major events like the Reno Jazz Festival and the Nevada Chamber Music Festival. 

Thanks to his uniquely multifaceted career, Angelo is in high demand both locally and internationally, collaborating with acclaimed artists and organizations such as Ralph Alessi, Jason Joshua, Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice, the League of American Orchestras, and the Sierra Nevada Ballet, among many others. Whether on stage, in the classroom, or behind the scenes, his goal is to foster curiosity, accessibility, and integrity in every artistic space he touches.
