Join award-winning pianist Dr. Zachary Bartholomew and his trio as they deliver an endearing and interactive musical performance remembering jazz icon Armando “Chick” Corea. Renowned pianist-composer and prolific explorer of jazz and classical music, Chick is a DownBeat hall-of-famer, NEA Jazz Master, 27-time Grammy winner, and one of the most creative and prolific musical forces in American music this last century. This dynamic show will feature his musical compositions spanning from the beginning to the end of his career. Additionally, the concert will feature some of Bartholomew’s original music that pays homage to this larger-than-life musical legend who passed away in 2021.
