Secrest Series: Vijay Iyer Trio
Described by The New York Times as a social conscience, multimedia collaborator, system builder, rhapsodist, historical thinker and multicultural gateway, Vijay Iyer is one of todays most in-demand jazz musicians, and is a composer, pianist, and professor in the Harvard University music department. His honors include a MacArthur Fellowship, a Doris Duke Performing Artist Award, a United States Artist Fellowship, and a GRAMMY nomination. About his all-star trio (including Australian bassist Linda May Han Oh and Tyshawn Sorey, MacArthur Foundation Fellowship-winning percussionist and composer), All About Jazz says, “the visionary musician [Iyer] leads an ensemble that formulates an exquisite redefinition of jazz’s well-established instrumental concept of the piano trio.”
Secrest Series: Thomas Dunford, lute
Frenchman Thomas Dunford is a rising star of the European early music movement, and a dynamic and charismatic performer of Renaissance, Baroque, and modern music on the lute. BBC Music Magazine has written of him, Dunfords supple technique, combined with his passion for jazz, allows him to decorate and elaborate with improvisatory abandon, shedding new light on old favourites. He really plumbs the depths, too, of Dowlands melancholy blues style, proving himself to be an Eric Clapton of the lute.
