CHORD / CHAOS / CHORD Seiji Nakanishi, Piano · Kanji Nakanishi, Violin · Pi-Wei Lin, Cello Zankel Hall, Carnegie Hall · Sunday, April 12th, 2026

CHORD / CHAOS / CHORD is a piano trio concert that traces a journey from harmony through chaos and back to harmony — performed by three musicians from different countries and cultures who share the belief that music can carry hope, offer peace, and connect us beyond words. Not as escape. As shared passage through sound.

The Ukrainian Music Initiative's mission is clear and urgent: to bring Ukrainian classical music into its rightful place in the Western canon. INTRODUCTIONS is their most personal format — a concert built around the musicians themselves, each performing chamber works from the Ukrainian repertoire they love most.

The Quintin Harris Trio takes the stage at Midnight Blue this Thursday — 9PM until midnight, the kind of set that gets better as the city quiets down around it.

This Tuesday she marks a milestone: her Master's degree graduation recital at Greenfield Hall, Manhattan School of Music. The program features works by Mozart, Schumann, Debussy, and Bacewicz, with special guests and a promise of surprises. There is a short intermission — stay for the full evening.

Alfira Ahmatjan — known as Jazzfira — is a New York City-based vocalist, composer, and pianist whose music lives at the intersection of jazz improvisation and Uyghur musical tradition. Voice, memory, and spontaneity, woven together into something that doesn't sound like anything else in this city.

54 Sings Me in 2016 brings a full lineup of NYC performers to the stage at 54 Below, digging into the songs, stories, and moments that defined a very specific era (yes, think iPod Shuffles, carpool karaoke, and everything in between).

We’re especially excited to see Jonathon Timpanelli in the lineup — a familiar face in the Four Hands community — bringing his voice to a night that’s equal parts nostalgic and joyfully self-aware.

Jacob Khalil makes music that does something specific to a room. It lifts it. Not into abstraction — into presence. Into the warm, grounded certainty that things are going to be okay. The New Yorker called him "affable and sunny." FOX 5 NY said his is "a voice that soothes the soul." BroadwayWorld described his audiences "clapping, singing, and swaying along." He sang alongside Sam Smith on Saturday Night Live, performed in the Hollywood film History of Sound starring Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor, and has headlined sold-out concerts at Birdland — where his performances have been so warmly received that he was invited to fill in for Grammy-winning pianist Billy Stritch at his weekly residency.

The Bryce Edwards Frivolity Hour brings the spirit of vintage vaudeville roaring back to life, with Bryce Edwards at the center of it all. A true throwback performer, he moves effortlessly from crooning to scatting to full theatrical flair, channeling the charm and showmanship of 1920s greats with uncanny precision.

Isaac Knox is taping his comedy mini-special “Name Calling” — a sharp, playful dive into names, identity, and the language we use every day. A true whimsical wordsmith, Isaac blends stand-up, storytelling, and musical crowd interaction (yes, freestyle included) into something that feels both personal and completely unpredictable.

Some projects are too large for a single season. Haydn: Dialogues is one of them.

Over the course of ten seasons, concluding in 2032 — Haydn's 300th birth anniversary — the Cramer Quartet is performing all 68 of Haydn's string quartets alongside newly commissioned works by American composers, each written for historical instruments, each a response to a specific Haydn opus in the composer's own voice. It is one of the most ambitious chamber music undertakings currently happening in New York City.

Noir Piano Salon: Live Drawing Edition Hosted by Blair Greene · Gambit Works Gallery · March 27th

The Noir Piano Salon is an intimate performance salon in all-black attire — an evening where piano, strings, dance, poetry, and vocals converge in a gallery space, with a live artist drawing the entire performance as it unfolds.

Held at the intimate Triad Theater on the Upper West Side, these sold-out evenings bring together some of New York City's most extraordinary musicians for a night of world-class performances, spontaneous magic, and the kind of genuine community that's increasingly rare in this city.

Directed by jazz maestros Antongiulio Foti and Matt Baker, every show is different — and somehow, every show is exactly what you needed.

Come for the music. Stay for what happens between the notes.

Bryan Eng is one of the most genuinely exciting young performers working in jazz and cabaret today — a multifaceted pianist, singer, composer, and actor whose career has already taken him from Broadway to the Carlyle Hotel to the Kennedy Center to the Tony Awards Party, and whose warmth, intelligence, and effortless stage presence make every room he walks into feel like the right room.

Jonny Rosch and the Bleedin' Gobshites A St. Patrick's Day Musical and Libationary Celebration Triad Theater · Tuesday, March 17th, 2026

For decades, Jonny Rosch made his living playing rock and roll in Irish bars across New York City — Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and most notably Queens, where the Sunnyside and Woodside bars were packed every night with the Irish community that kept this city alive and moving. He knows what St. Patrick's Day means to people for whom it is not just a holiday but a homecoming.

The Refugee Orchestra Project shares music by composers who were forced to leave their homelands — as they express these life-altering experiences through music and storytelling. Imaginary Peace: Sounds of Migration brings together works by Mary Kouyoumdjian, Gabriela Ortiz, Wang Lu, Daniel Bernard Roumain, Ljova, Arson Fahim, Zoltan Almashi, and Milad Yousufi — Armenian, Afghan, Ukrainian, Mexican-American, Haitian-American, and Russian-American voices, each carrying a different story of displacement, resilience, and the complicated grace of building a life somewhere new.

Seann Cantatore is an NYC-based musical comedian, absurdist, and — in her own words — professional kind person. Her performances combine musical characters, sketch comedy, and genuine ridiculousness in a way that makes audiences belly laugh and confront their deepest emotional vulnerabilities sometimes within the same breath. She believes in humor that welcomes everyone to the party, and every room she performs in feels exactly like that — a party you were always meant to be at.

Kisufim — Hebrew for longing — is the name and the soul of Meital Waldmann's new EP, and the release concert on March 12th at the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan is the fullest expression of everything this project means.

Matt Baker is the Australian-born jazz pianist who has called New York home since 2010 — co-music director of A Night at the Triad, Birdland and Blue Note performer, sideman to Patti LaBelle, Vanessa Williams, Judy Collins, and Veronica Swift, and the musician whose spontaneous four-hands piano improvisation at our very first show gave the Four Hands Collective its name and its soul. His six albums, including Live at Birdland, capture a musician of extraordinary warmth, range, and technical mastery.

Soul-stirring vocals meet intimate jazz.
