STEVE SANDBERG
SUNDAY JANUARY 17
9.00 PM PARIS / 8.00 PM LONDON / 3.00 PM NEW YORK / 12.00PM LA
Steve Sandberg - piano
TICKET PRICE €10.00 / £10.00 / $13.00
Three-time Emmy-nominated pianist/composer Steve Sandberg is a musical shapeshifter, remixing classical music, world music and jazz with the excitement of virtuosic improvisation. A long time pupil of Seymour Bernstein, he leads the Steve Sandberg Quartet featuring Snarky Puppy violinist Zach Brock, whose concerts combine performances of Chopin, Ravel, Bartok, Debussy, and Liszt with improvisations on Mr. Sandberg’s original compositions that are based on these pieces and also draw from Latin, African, Balkan, jazz and East Indian traditions.
One audience member describes the experience as listening to “music from a country I’ve never been to but always wanted to visit.” Sandberg also uses the concerts as an opportunity to educate and engage his audiences with accessible commentary that draws them into his musical world.
Sandberg grew up playing classical piano, then became part of NY’s vibrant Latin music scene. He has toured with and arranged for such diverse artists as Mario Rivera, Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, Ruben Blades, Bebel Gilberto, and David Byrne.
He has studied raga singing with Ustad Mashkoor Ali Khan, and performs with North Indian classical and fusion violinist Dr. L. Subramaniam.
At this concert he will perform pieces by Ravel and Chopin as well as his original “world classical” music compositions based on these pieces.
