Approx. 90 minutes, with intermission
A legendary pianist tributes an iconic Christmas soundtrack
Baltimore’s own Cyrus Chestnut guarantees a tour de force. Hailed as “the best jazz pianist of his generation” by TIME magazine, Mr. Chestnut’s skill and stage presence have kept audiences coming back time and again. His pedigree speaks for itself – since signing with Atlantic Records in 1993, he has collaborated with such multi-genre musical giants as Wynton Marsalis, Chick Corea, and Kathleen Battle. In this special appearance with his trio on the Dumbarton stage, Mr. Chestnut returns to his roots and pays tribute to his first jazz influence, Vince Guaraldi, in a fresh yet reverent interpretation of Guaraldi’s iconic 1965 soundtrack to A Charlie Brown Christmas. Don’t miss this charming trip down memory lane with a true jazz virtuoso.
This engagement of Cyrus Chestnut is made possible in part through the ArtsCONNECT program of Mid Atlantic Arts with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
