Composers Concordance Presents: Adam Holzman 'SCHIZO' Piano & Electronics

On Friday, December 6th, 2024 at 7pm at Kostabi World, Composers Concordance presents Adam Holzman 'SCHIZO,' a concert featuring the legendary keyboardist performing together with legendary trombonist Dick Griffin, acclaimed guitarist Jane Getter, and innovative Di.J. Gene Pritsker. In quick tandem, music creations featuring the exceptional acoustic tones of Kostabi World's Steinway D piano alternate with frenzied electronic textures. In addition to Holzman's original compositions, the program includes the premiere of 'Awakening Your Inner Schizo’ by Gene Pritsker, featuring a poem by Robert C. Ford, plus music by Dan Cooper, Jane Getter, Dick Griffin, and Mark Kostabi, among others.

 

Named by Keyboard magazine and Downbeat as one of the top keyboard players, Adam Holzman has led a varied career. Starting in 1985, Adam was Miles Davis’ keyboardist and music director. Adam has since toured and recorded with Chaka Khan, Wayne Shorter, Grover Washington Jr., and Steps Ahead, as well as his own band: Adam Holzman & Brave New World. For the past ten years, he has performed and recorded with British rocker Steven Wilson.

 

The concert will also be live-streamed on Composers Concordance's Facebook Page.
