Solo Piano Concert

Listen carefully…

I am performing a rare solo piano concert in the Project 88 Concert series in Berwyn on  Saturday, November 11, 2023, @ 6:30 PM.

Location: 6720 31st Street, Berwyn, IL 60402 (Unity Lutheran Church)

Tickets are free (donations accepted), but you can reserve seats here. Seats are filling up fast, so don’t delay!

As you can see in the program below, I’ll be performing a mix of my originals and arrangments of some pretty well-known tunes. (Expect to be surprised by the latter: these are anything but standard jazzy interpretations of pop tunes.)

Stay tuned: I’ll share some recordings of some of the music before the concert.
