Cancelled - to be rescheduled
with David Lopato Trio, Ratzo Harris (bass), and Bob Meyer (drums)
Jazz

DAVID LOPATO's music involves such diverse forms as modern jazz, stride piano, avant-garde classical music, blues, Latin and various world music, most notably those of Indonesia, where he has lived and studied Javanese gamelan. His body of music is both universal and personal and while his main instrument is piano, his interest in other, more exotic timbres has led him to explore new techniques for "preparing" the piano, as well as incorporate other percussion instruments and electronics into his work.

As a pianist he has worked with Ray Anderson, Dave Liebman, Joe Lovano, Mark Helias, Jane Ira Bloom, Tyshawn Sorey, Gerry Hemingway, David Mott, Wadada Leo Smith, Steve Gorn, Marty Ehrlich and Steve Reich. As a composer, he has been awarded several grants from the Nat’l Endowment for the Arts, the NY State Council on the Arts, NY Foundation for the Arts, The Beards Fund and Meet The Composer.

He is also on the faculty of the Jazz and Contemporary Music Dept. of The New School.
