PI-AMIGOS: PIANO TRIUMVIRATE will present a concert of Rock Jazz and Classical piano music Saturday October 11, 7PM in Margaretville’s MTC Community Hall located on Academy St. Admission: free will donation. Sponsorship: MTC, M-ARK Project Roxbury Arts Group.
This concert event will be a meeting of the hearts, minds, and hands of the 3 Pi-Amigos: Justin Kolb, Adam Ippolito, and Loren Daniels. These three pianists have long admired and supported each other’s work and have become close friends. This will be an opportunity for them to explore the classical, rock and jazz music connections, as friends, as artists and as collaborators and share something unique with the world.
The common ground for this concert will be the instrument itself, a concert grand piano. While they share the piano as this event’s instrument of choice, each of them comes to it with different experiences, training and education.
Justin Kolb is a world-renowned classical concert pianist who has performed to audiences in prestigious venues such as Lincoln
Center, Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall and in cities from Budapest to Santa Barbara.
Adam Ippolito is the consummate rock keyboardist and vocalist whose credentials include recording and performing with John Lennon, Elephant’s Memory, Chuck Berry, Kool and the Gang, Whitney Houston and many other pop and rock legends.
Loren Daniels is an amazing jazz virtuoso pianist, vocalist, composer and educator whose experiences on the jazz scene include leading and recording with his own ensembles and skillfully supporting other jazz artists: Rufus Reid, Calvin Hill, Mike Richmond and Milt Jackson.
The three pianists will explore different themes and topics using specially selected pieces that will highlight their artistic and pianistic depth, both in individual performances and together at the keyboard. The program will include a piece for six hands (all three pianists at once) composed by Peter Schickele, a tango composed by Robert Cucinotta that will be interpreted using classical, rock and jazz approaches. Collective renderings of well-known music such as “Tequila” have also been programmed. The concert will give the audience a chance to hear very diverse musical musings that reflect upon our common human experiences. It will also showcase the keyboard wizardry of three very different and very accomplished masters.
Pi-Amigos: Piano Triumvirate - An incredible program that you won’t want to miss! Please join Justin Kolb, Adam Ippolito and Loren Daniels.
