Pi-Amigos Play at MTC Community Hall Oct 11

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.
