Pianist Adam Tendler has led a colorful career, from a 50-state grassroots recital tour of American piano music (88x50), to realizing the feat of performing modern works from memory, like John Cage’s Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano, and here for this event, Feldman’s Palais de Mari. A professor of Sound and Liberal Arts at the School of the Art Institute, Robert Snyder is the author of Music and Memory (MIT Press). A pianist and composer, Andy Costello is the founder and executive director of the Morton Feldman Chamber Players.

Last summer, ESS had the extreme good fortune of being selected by the PianoForte Foundation as a recipient of a beautiful Young-Chang baby grand through their Gift of Pianos program. To celebrate, we're presenting two of our favorite pianists (plus a guitarist and a clarinet player) in a free concert highlighting the works of composers Scott Joplin and Morton Feldman.
