Christian McBride and Brad Mehldau

  • LOCATION Virginia G. Piper Repertory Theater
  • ALL-IN PRICE(S) Start at $57
Two of the most respected artists in contemporary jazz join forces in this duo. Hailed “one of modern jazz’s most innovative musicians” by Glide Magazine, Christian McBride says, “Brad is justifiably revered as one of the greatest pianists of all time.” Named “one of our greatest living pianists” by NPR, Brad Mehldau says, “Playing with Christian, especially in this configuration, is both joyful and daunting all at once. His level of sophistication and swing, of emotional power and grace, is unsurpassed - not in the least on what he has achieved on his instrument, but also as one of our strongest voices in the music more generally, at the top of his game.”
