*STOMP*, a unique combination of percussion, movement, and visual comedy, was created in Brighton, UK, in the summer of 1991. It was the result of a ten-year collaboration between its creators, Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas.

They first worked together in 1981, as members of the street band Pookiesnackenburger and the theatre group Cliff Hanger. Together, these groups presented a series of street comedy musicals at the Edinburgh Festival throughout the early '80s. After two albums, a UK TV series and extensive touring throughout Europe, Pookiesnackenburger also produced the highly acclaimed "Bins" commercial for Heineken lager.

The piece was originally written and choreographed by Luke as part of the band's stage show; it proved to be the starting point for *STOMP*'s climactic dustbin dance.

In 1986, Luke and Steve created an eight-minute 'percussive movie' for Bette Midler's HBO special *Mondo Beyondo*. Between 1987 and 1990, Luke staged, as Artistic and Musical Director, four large-scale outdoor events including "Beat the Clyde," which involved floating a drum orchestra on a pontoon in the center of Glasgow. The largest of these events, "The Heineken Hove Lagoon Show," involved a 120-piece drum orchestra featuring the Brighton Festival Chorus and a full orchestral string section.

In 1991, Steve and Luke first created *STOMP*, previewing at London's Bloomsbury Theatre and premiering at the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh, where it became The Guardian's "Critics' Choice," and won The Daily Express "Best of the Fringe Award."

Between 1991 and 1994, the original cast of *STOMP* played to capacity audiences around the world: from Hong Kong to Barcelona, from Dublin to Sydney. The touring culminated in a sell-out season at London's Sadler's Wells Theatre in January 1994, where *STOMP* received an Olivier nomination for Best Entertainment, and won Best Choreography in a West End Show.

An expanded version of *STOMP*, involving up to 30 cast members, was originally created for the Brighton Festival, UK, and was subsequently presented in Melbourne, Australia. It was most recently seen in September 1995, open-air, at the Acropolis in Athens and at the Royal Festival Hall, London. This production broke all box office records, which had been established by Frank Sinatra in 1972.

*STOMP* began its run at the Orpheum Theatre in New York in February 1994 and quickly went on to win both an Obie and a Drama Desk Award for Most Unique Theatre Experience. By the summer of 1994, the first American cast was in place at the Orpheum, freeing the original cast for sell-out tours of North America and Japan.

In the summer of 1995, two more American productions were created for the sole purpose of US touring, which continues to this day. US casts have also debuted *STOMP* in Chile, Brazil and Korea. Meanwhile, a fifth *STOMP* company, also touring from the UK, was formed in 1997 and has consistently toured the world ever since. This company presented *STOMP* for the first time in Scandinavia and South Africa, and has been a regular visitor to Germany, Holland and France. Another *STOMP* production opened in San Francisco in May 2000, running for two and a half years.

The original cast of *STOMP* have recorded music for the *Tank Girl* movie soundtrack, and appeared on the Quincy Jones album, *Q's Jook Joint*. A soundtrack recorded by Steve and Luke for the Showtime movie *Riot* was released in the spring of 1997. *STOMP* has also featured in a number of commercials, including Coca-Cola's "Ice Pick," and numerous spots for both Target stores in the US, and Toyota in Japan.

*STOMP* also created the *Mr Frears' Ears* series of short films created for Nickelodeon, whilst *Brooms*, a 15-minute short based around the opening routine, was nominated for an Academy Award. "Brooms" was also selected for screening at Robert Redford's Sundance Festival and for competition at the Cannes Film Festival.

*STOMP* made a special appearance at the Academy Awards in March 1996, with an original piece involving the live synchronization of classic film clips and onstage action, featuring 20 performers from all five productions.

In the summer of 1997, Steve and Luke created and directed *STOMP OUT LOUD*, a 45-minute television special for HBO, which combined stage material with new pieces created for TV. It was premiered in the USA in December 1997 and subsequently received four Emmy nominations, for direction, sound mixing, multi-camera editing, and art direction. 1998 saw the release of the *STOMP OUT LOUD* video and DVD around the world. Another unique blend of live action and film footage was created for the Emmy Awards, in which *STOMP* effectively performed with Spike Jones!

*STOMP* performed after midnight on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial at U.S. President Clinton's millennium celebrations. During 2000, a *Sesame Street* special "Let's Make Music," a collaboration between *STOMP* and the Muppets, was released on TV and video in North America.

Luke and Steve began production of their IMAX movie *Pulse: A STOMP Odyssey* in Brazil during Carnival 2000 and completed it in the summer of 2002. Pulse takes the IMAX audience on a spectacular global journey, featuring performances from Kodo, Timbalada, and Eva Yerbabuena. It was released to critical acclaim in New York in the autumn of 2002, and went on to win two major awards at the International Festival of La Géode in Paris.

In September 2002, *STOMP* finally entered London's West End at the Vaudeville Theatre, and later that year *STOMP* performed as part of The Royal Variety Show for the second time.

2003 saw a new *STOMP* production open at the Stuart Street Theatre in Boston, and a unique Dolby Digital trailer featuring *STOMP* performances debuted in cinemas across the globe.

In 2004, New York celebrated 10 years of continuous performances of *STOMP* at the Orpheum Theatre by renaming 2nd Avenue at 8th Street Stomp Avenue.

In addition to the European tour, in 2005 *STOMP* returned to Tokyo for three weeks and also toured to Hong Kong, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.

In 2006, *STOMP*'s New York production passed its 5,000th performance mark. In the same year, Luke and Steve directed a public service announcement for television called "Stomp Out Litter," which featured the cast 'sweeping up' at iconic locations in the five boroughs.

In addition, they were commissioned to create and produce The Lost and Found Orchestra, which takes the ideas behind *STOMP* to a symphonic level, in celebration of 40 years of the Brighton Festival. The LFO subsequently performed at the Sydney Opera House as part of the Sydney Festival early in 2007, was seen at the Royal Festival Hall in London at Christmas 2008, and the Theater Carré in February 2009.

In 2007, *STOMP OUT LOUD* opened in Las Vegas at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino with an expanded cast and performed inside a new $28 million theatre, specifically created for the production. The West End entered its 6th consecutive year with a move from the Vaudeville to the Ambassadors Theatre.

In 2008, *STOMP* returned to its roots for a new DVD shoot at the Brighton Dome, bringing together a cast from all over the *STOMP* world. For the first time, the entire show has been captured in high-definition sound and video.  2008 also saw Steve and Luke expand into new areas with the release of their IMAX 3D nature documentary *Wild Ocean*, with a symphonic mix of percussion and traditional orchestra in the soundtrack. In September of the same year, *Wild Ocean* won two awards at the Giant Screen Cinema Association for Best Sound and Best Original Score at their annual conference held in New York.

The Lost and Found Orchestra reunited in 2010 for a new show, *PANDEMONIUM*, which appeared in several U.S. cities throughout the autumn.

In 2011 the New York production of *STOMP* entered its eighteenth year, trouncing the Orpheum house record set by *Little Shop of Horrors*. It also entered its tenth year in the West End at the Ambassadors Theatre, whilst at the same time Steve and Luke continued with their 3D film work. 2012 has seen the release of *The Last Reef 3D*, a film about the beauty andthe plight of reefs worldwide. As with *Wild Ocean*, Luke and Steve composed the film's orchestral soundtrack, recording it at The Old Market Theatre in their hometown of Brighton & Hove in the UK. They have also celebrated the one-year anniversary of The Old Market Theatre, which, having renovated it back in 2011, they now run as a full-time venue bringing music, theatre, dance, comedy and visual arts to the UK's south coast.

Most recently, in August 2012, the largest ever assembly of *STOMP* performers (40 performers from 12 different countries) were brought together for a specifically choreographed appearance in the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.

*STOMP* was created with the original U.K. cast:

## About Cameron Graves

Pianist, composer and vocalist Cameron Graves calls the music he’s
architected for his new Artistry Music/Mack Avenue Music Group release
thrash-jazz, though that only begins to tell the story. Yes, upon an initial
listen, the juggernaut metal force and hardcore precision of Seven can
knock you back. After all, Graves grew up in metal-rich Los Angeles,
headbanging to Living Colour as a kid and, after immersing himself in
jazz and classical studies for years, reigniting his love for hard rock.

But listen closer to Seven, Graves’ follow-up to 2017’s Planetary Prince
(which Pitchfork called a “rousing debut”). “Los Angeles is a melting pot
of everything,” Graves points out. His father, Carl Graves, was a great
soul singer, and you can hear his imprint along with the likes of Marvin
Gaye and Otis Redding, on “Eternal Paradise,” which marks the younger
Graves’ vocal debut. Throughout the album, the generation of 1970s jazzrock
fusion pioneers is a source of inspiration. “… Stanley Clarke, Chick
Corea, Herbie Hancock—these guys sat with us and told us, ‘Look, man,
you’ve got to carry this on.”

Uniquely groundbreaking and exhilarating to watch and hear, the London Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO) has been celebrated as one of the world’s great orchestras since Sir Thomas Beecham founded it in 1932. The LPO’s mission is ‘to share wonder with the modern world through the power of orchestral music’, which we accomplish through live performances, online, and an extensive education and community program.

London Philharmonic Orchestra's home is at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, at the beating heart of London’s cultural life. Audiences can also find them at resident venues in Brighton, Eastbourne and Saffron Walden, and on tour worldwide. In 2024, The LPO celebrated 60 years as Resident Symphony Orchestra at Glyndebourne Festival Opera, combining the magic of opera with Glyndebourne’s glorious setting in the Sussex countryside. 

Edward Gardner has been the LPO's Principal Conductor since 2021, succeeding Vladimir Jurowski who in the same year became Conductor Emeritus. Karina Canellakis is the current Principal Guest Conductor and Tania León is the Composer-in-Residence.

The London Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the world’s most-streamed orchestras, with over 15 million plays each month. In 2023, they were the most successful orchestra worldwide on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram, and in spring 2024 they were featured in a behind-the-scenes TV documentary series on Sky Arts: *Backstage with the London Philharmonic Orchestra*. Audiences can hear the LPO on countless film soundtracks, and they released over 120 albums on their own the LPO Label. In 2024-25, the LPO is once again working with Marquee TV to stream selected concerts to enjoy from your own living room.

The LPO is committed to nurturing the next generation of musicians and music-lovers. They love seeing the joy of children and families experiencing their first musical moments and are passionate about inspiring schools and teachers through dedicated concerts, workshops, resources and training. Reflecting their values of collaboration and inclusivity, the OrchLab and Open Sound Ensemble projects offer music-making opportunities for adults and young people with disabilities and special educational needs.

Today’s young instrumentalists are the orchestra members of the future, and the LPO has multiple opportunities to support their progression. The LPO Junior Artists program leads the way in creating pathways into the profession for young artists from under-represented communities, and the LPO Young Composers and Foyle Future Firsts schemes support the next generation of professional musicians, bridging the transition from education to professional careers. They also recently launched the LPO Conducting Fellowship, supporting the development of two outstanding early-career conductors from backgrounds under-represented in the profession.

## **Randall Goosby**, Violin

American violinist Randall Goosby is acclaimed for the sensitivity and intensity of his musicianship alongside his determination to make music more inclusive and accessible, as well as bringing the music of under-represented composers to light. Goosby returned to London Philharmonic Orchestra in 2023 performing Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 3 under the direction of Gemma New and feature both recital and chamber concerts. 

Goosby, signed exclusively to Decca Classics, released his first album entitled *Roots*, which is a celebration of African American music which explores its evolution from the spiritual through to present-day compositions. Collaborating with pianist Zhu Wang, Goosby curated an album paying homage to the pioneering artists that paved the way for him and other artists of color. It features three world-premiere recordings of music written by African American composer Florence Price and includes works by composers William Grant Still and Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson, plus a newly commissioned piece by acclaimed double bassist Xavier Foley, a fellow Sphinx and Young Concert Artists alumnus.
 
Goosby is deeply passionate about inspiring and serving others through education, social engagement and outreach activities. He has enjoyed working with non-profit organizations such as the Opportunity Music Project and Concerts in Motion in New York City, as well as participating in community engagement programs for schools, hospitals and assisted living facilities across the United States.

### **Ludwig van Beethoven** (1770-1827)

**Overture, *Egmont*, Op. 84**

Revolution was in the air when Johann Wolfgang von Goethe wrote his play *Egmont* in 1786. America had declared independence from Britain in 1776, and in 1789, the French were to begin the long and bloody process of overthrowing their own absolute monarchy. *Egmont* is set in the Netherlands in the 16th century, then brutally repressed by occupying Spanish forces. The hero, Count Egmont, rouses the Flemish people in revolt against Spanish tyranny. Eventually he is arrested, and an attempt to rescue him by his lover, Klärchen, fails. Klärchen poisons herself, and Egmont is executed—but not before he has had a vision of freedom personified as Klärchen herself, who crowns Egmont with a laurel wreath. Egmont offers his death as a sacrifice for his people, confident that freedom will prevail.

Despite the play's subversive message, Goethe's *Egmont* was staged by the Viennese Imperial Court Theatre in 1810, and it was for this production that Beethoven wrote his powerfully dramatic Overture. Beethoven's impassioned sympathy for Egmont's cause can be felt at every stage: the slow introduction, alternately stern and plaintive, leads to an urgent, obsessive *Allegro* that could easily be the first movement of a tragic symphony. As the music seems to be preparing to a grim final climax, the music is suddenly cut off. Silence follows, then a few plaintive chords for woodwind—surely the moment of Egmont's execution. Then, without any attempt at transition, the mood is catapulted into a bright F major and the Overture hurtles to an ecstatic conclusion. In the play—and in the context of Beethoven's own time—this vision of 'Crowned Freedom' is still only a far-off hope.

### **Samuel Barber** (1910-1981)

Violin Concerto, Op. 14

*Allegro*\
*Andante*\
*Presto in moto perpetuo*

Samuel Barber was already well known as the most Romantically inclined of younger American composers—not least because of the immediate success of his *Adagio* for Strings—when he composed his Violin Concerto in 1939. Its twin moods are gentle lyricism and spiky brilliance: not such an unusual combination in 20th-century violin concertos (think of the Prokofiev concertos, or the almost exactly contemporary concerto by Walton); but here, instead of being placed side by side, they are completely separated, with two lyrical movements followed by a brilliant finale.

At first sight, the reason for this might appear to lie in geography and history: Barber began the work on a relaxed summer holiday in Switzerland and completed it on his return to America following the outbreak of the Second World War in Europe. But a more likely explanation has to do with the circumstances in which the Concerto came into being. It had been commissioned by a wealthy American businessman for a violin protégé. When this violinist saw the completed score of the first two movements, he complained that Barber's habitual lyricism was too much in evidence, and there was not enough of a virtuoso nature in the solo part. Barber promised to make amends in the finale, but he did so to such effect that the intended soloist declared that the movement was unplayable! Not surprisingly, the published score bears no dedication, either to the businessman or to the protégé; but it does record that the premiere was given by another violinist, Albert Spalding, with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Eugene Ormandy in February 1941. 

The first movement of the Concerto, in G major, is dominated by the long, expressive melody which the soloist unfolds right at the outset. The most important subsidiary idea is a clarinet tune to which Lombardic rhythmic figures (short-long) and modal inflections give a distinct Scottish flavor. These two themes never lose their identities for very long in the central development section, and after a full recapitulation and a short, accompanied cadenza they both figure in the quiet coda.

Woodwind instruments are as prominent in this coda as the soloist. And in the E major slow movement, too, the orchestra has an important part to play: the plaintive principal melody is given in turn to oboe, cello, clarinet, violins and horn before the solo violin makes its first entry. The soloist dominates the more agitated middle section, which ends with another accompanied cadenza, and then remains in the foreground with the impassioned return of the first section. 

The timpani launch the A minor finale with the triplet rhythms which are maintained almost throughout the movement, mostly—for literally page after page without a break—by the soloist. Barber occasionally suggests a disruption of their progress by throwing in off-beat accents or cross-rhythms in the orchestra, but the only melodic idea which emerges at all clearly is a chirpy little woodwind theme. Apart from this, the movement is all rhythmic drive, and the soloist's final gear-change from triplets to semiquavers even increases its impetus.

### **Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky** (1840-93)

Symphony No. 4 in F minor, Op. 36

*Andante sostenuto - Moderato con anima*\
*Andantino in modo di canzona*\
*Scherzo (Pizzicato ostinato): Allegro*\
*Finale: Allegro con fuoco*

The years 1876 and 1877 were traumatic ones for Tchaikovsky. He was suffering increasingly from feelings of guilt over his homosexuality, and considerable mental torment from the fear of its discovery. As a result, he underwent a personal crisis that eventually drove him not just to an ill-advised marriage to a young student (a disastrous affair which lasted only a few weeks in the summer of 1877), but also to near-madness and a pitiable suicide attempt.

Two orchestral works of this time clearly reflect Tchaikovsky's disturbed state of mind. The first was the tone-poem *Francesca da Rimini*, composed in the autumn of 1876 and depicting the eternal damnation of Francesca and her lover Paolo, condemned in Dante's *Inferno* to the second circle of Hell for their helpless but illicit passion. The second was the Fourth Symphony, composed the following year, which confronted another specter that had been haunting Tchaikovsky: the destructive nature of Fate. The seeds may well have been sown by a performance of *Carmen* that the composer saw in Paris in early 1875, but they were undoubtedly brought to fruition by the harrowing events of the following two years. From these, Tchaikovsky emerged with a stronger-than-ever conviction of the power of 'the fateful force that prevents the impulse to happiness from achieving its goal ... which hangs over your head like the sword of Damocles.'

Tchaikovsky wrote these words in a letter to his patroness, Nadezhda von Meck, to describe the stark motto theme that opens the Symphony. The letter goes on to outline for von Meck the feelings underlying the rest of the work, a useful guide to its comprehension even now, though only after it has been borne in mind that it was written after the music had been completed. Thus, we learn that the oppressive waltz-tune that opens the fast section of the first movement signifies resignation in the face of Fate's supremacy, and the lilting second theme (announced on clarinet) the desire to 'turn away from reality and submerge oneself in daydreams. But though the music strives for happiness, it is Fate that gains the upper hand, with the motto theme returning to dominate the later stages of the movement.

For Tchaikovsky, the slow movement—with its haunting oboe melody—evoked 'the melancholy feeling which comes in the evening when, weary from your labor, you are sitting alone. You take a book, but it falls from your hand. A whole host of memories comes ... It's both sad, yet somehow sweet to immerse yourself in the past.' The ensuing *Scherzo* depicts less clearly defined emotions: Tchaikovsky refers vaguely to 'capricious arabesques,' 'drunken peasants' and 'a military procession,' but in truth a program is irrelevant in this orchestral tour-de-force in which three themes—for pizzicato strings, woodwind and brass respectively—are first alternated, then wittily combined. 

The Finale opens in a brilliant whirl of sounds which the sober Russian folk-tune 'In the fields there stood a birch' can only temporarily assuage. 'If you find no reason for joy within yourself', wrote Tchaikovsky, 'go among the people. Observe how they can enjoy themselves, surrendering themselves wholeheartedly to joyful feelings.' Amid the celebrations, however, the Fate theme from the first movement breaks in with an effect so devastating that the movement is brought to a standstill. But this time it cannot win. 'You have only yourself to blame; do not say that everything in the world is sad. There are simple but strong joys.' The Symphony concludes in a blaze of glory, and the composer, for the time being at least, turns his back on Fate.

### ACT ONE

**PROLOGUE: 1815, DIGNE**\
After 19 years on the chain gang, Jean Valjean finds that the ticket-of-leave he must display condemns him to be an outcast. Only the Bishop of Digne treats him kindly and Valjean, embittered by years of hardship, repays him by stealing some silver. Valjean is caught and brought back by the police and is astonished when the Bishop lies to the police to save him. Valjean decides to start his life anew. 


**1823, MONTREUIL-SUR-MER**\
Eight years have passed and Valjean, having broken his parole and changed his name to Monsieur Madeleine, has become a factory owner and Mayor. One of his workers, Fantine, has a secret illegitimate child. When the other women discover this, they demand her dismissal.

Desperate for money to pay for medicines for her daughter, Fantine sells her locket, her hair, and then joins the whores in selling herself. Utterly degraded, she gets into a fight with a prospective customer and is about to be taken to prison by Javert when the ‘Mayor’ arrives and demands she be taken to the hospital instead.

The Mayor then rescues a man pinned beneath a cart. Javert is reminded of the abnormal strength of convict 24601 Jean Valjean, who, he says, has just been recaptured. Valjean, unable to see an innocent man go to prison, confesses that he is prisoner 24601. At the hospital, Valjean promises the dying Fantine to find and look after her daughter Cosette. Javert arrives to arrest him, but Valjean escapes.


**1823, MONTFERMEIL**\
Cosette has been lodged with the Thénardiers, who horribly abuse her while indulging their own daughter, Éponine. Valjean pays the Thénardiers to let him take her away to Paris.

**1832, PARIS**\
Nine years later, there is unrest in the city because of the likely demise of the popular leader General Lamarque, the only man left in the government who shows any feeling for the poor. A street gang led by Thénardier and his wife sets upon Jean Valjean and Cosette. They are rescued by Javert, who does not recognize Valjean until he has gone.

The Thénardiers’ daughter Éponine, who is secretly in love with the student Marius, reluctantly agrees to help him find Cosette, with whom he has fallen in love.

News of General Lamarque’s death circulates in the city and a group of politically-minded students stream out into the streets to whip up support for a revolution.

Cosette is consumed by thoughts of Marius, with whom she has fallen in love. Éponine brings Marius to Cosette and then prevents an attempt by her father’s gang to rob Valjean’s house. Valjean, convinced it was Javert lurking outside his house, tells Cosette they must prepare to flee the country.


### ACT TWO

The students prepare to build the barricade. Marius, noticing that Éponine has joined the insurrection, sends her away with a letter to Cosette, which is intercepted by Valjean. Éponine decides to rejoin her love at the barricade. 

The barricade is built and the revolutionaries defy an army warning to give up or die. Javert is exposed as a police spy. In trying to return to the barricade, Éponine is killed. 

Valjean arrives at the barricade in search of Marius. He is given the chance to kill Javert but instead lets him go. The students settle down for a night on the barricade and, in the quiet of the night, Valjean prays to God to save Marius. The next day the rebels are all killed. 

Valjean escapes into the sewers with the unconscious Marius. After meeting Thénardier, who is robbing the corpses of the rebels, he comes across Javert once more. He pleads for time to deliver the young man to the hospital. Javert lets Valjean go and, his unbending principles of justice having been shattered by Valjean’s own mercy, he kills himself.

Unaware of the identity of his rescuer, Marius recovers in Cosette’s care. Valjean confesses the truth of his past to Marius and insists he must go away. 

At Marius and Cosette’s wedding, the Thénardiers try to blackmail Marius. Thénardier says Cosette’s ‘father’ is a murderer and as proof produces a ring which he stole from the corpse the night the barricade fell. It is Marius’s own ring and he realizes it was Valjean who rescued him that night. He and Cosette go to Valjean where Cosette learns for the first time of her own history before the old man dies.

Dee Dee Bridgewater, a Grammy and Tony Award® winning jazz legend, has spent four decades dominating the world of jazz. Bridgewater is known for her unique interpretations and bold reimagining of classics that sweep audiences away. She earned Best Vocal Jazz Album Grammy Awards for *Eleanora Fagan (1915-1959): To Billie With Love From Dee Dee*, and *Dear Ella*. Bridgewater’s career began with the Thad Jones/Mel Louis Big Band, and she performed with jazz icons like Max Roach and Sonny Rollins. 

Bridgewater has also made her mark in musical theater, winning a Tony Award® for her role as Glinda in *The Wiz*. She recently portrayed Billie Holiday in *Lady Day*, earning a British Laurence Olivier nomination. Recently honored with a stage dedication at the People's Health New Orleans Jazz Market, Bridgewater continues to tour and is currently working on a new album. She also received the prestigious NEA Jazz Masters Fellows Award at the Kennedy Center.

Bridgewater was raised in Flint, MI, and attended Michigan State University in the 1960s. She is a Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) where she appeals for international solidarity to finance global grassroots projects in the fight against world hunger.

## Bill Charlap

Grammy Award-winning pianist Bill Charlap has performed with some of the biggest names in jazz including Wynton Marsalis and Ron Carter. His collaboration with Tony Bennett on *The Silver Lining: The Songs of Jerome Kern* won a Grammy in 2016. Renowned for his interpretations of the American Songbook, Charlap has recorded albums featuring the works of legends like George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, and Duke Ellington. Since 1997, he led the Bill Charlap Trio which earned Grammy nominations for albums like *Uptown Downtown and Somewhere: The Songs of Leonard Bernstein*. The trio tours worldwide and is a fixture at New York venues like the Village Vanguard.

Charlap has also served as Artistic Director for New York’s 92nd Street Y’s Jazz in July Festival for the past 18 years and produced concerts for major institutions including Jazz at Lincoln Center and the Hollywood Bowl. Born into a musical family, Charlap began playing piano at age three. His passions were led by his father Moose Charlap—a Broadway composer—and mother Sandy Stewart, a Grammy-nominated vocalist. Charlap also frequently performs two-piano concerts with his wife, jazz pianist Renee Rosnes.
