Renowned jazz pianist and composer Laszlo Gardony will perform a solo piano concert featuring a compelling mix of original compositions, distinctive interpretations of jazz standards, and evocative, spontaneous improvisations—hallmarks of his spirited and dynamic solo performances.
"A formidable improviser who lives in the moment” (Jazz Times), Gardony has performed in 28 countries and released 14 albums on the Sunnyside, Antilles, and Avenue Jazz labels during his distinguished decades-long career. Winner of the Great American Jazz Piano Competition, Gardony has been noted for his “fluid pianism” by the New York Times, and the legendary Dave Brubeck called him “a great pianist.” His 14th album, Close Connection, and his 2017 solo album, Serious Play, were listed among the Best Jazz Albums of the Year by DownBeat magazine. A Berklee College of Music professor of piano, Gardony also teaches at Harvard University.
