An Evening with David Amram

Join us for an intimate evening with David Amram, a world-renowned composer, musician, author, conductor, and boundary-breaking collaborator who has been cheerfully ignoring musical categories since the 1940s. His work spans jazz, symphonies, operas, film scores, theater music, off-the-cuff talking blues, and genre-defying performances where he may sing, play piano, pennywhistle, and percussion. We’re fortunate to have this fascinating and accomplished world traveler as a fellow Hudson Valley resident.

Appointed by Leonard Bernstein as the New York Philharmonic’s first Composer-in-Residence, Amram has become one of the most performed and influential composers of our time. Over the course of his career, he has traveled to more than 30 countries and collaborated with an extraordinary range of artists and writers, including Jack Kerouac, Elia Kazan, Arthur Miller, Langston Hughes, Thelonious Monk, Johnny Depp, Hunter S. Thompson, Dizzy Gillespie, Odetta, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Betty Carter, Pete Seeger, Paquito D’Rivera, Tito Puente, and Jerry Jeff Walker.

“He’s one of the most talented musicians in the universe!” (Pete Seeger, New York Times)
