COUNTERPOINT is a collaboration between pianist and composer Conrad Tao and choreographer and dancer Caleb Teicher. The duo explores the dichotomy of their different perspectives and artistic practices, expanding their individual expressive capacity through a collective experience. Harmonic, rhythmic, and theatrical counterpoint between the artists seeks to map out constellations linking their disparate traditions, driving the imagination and opening the heart. The stylistically diverse music of COUNTERPOINT includes the Aria from Bach’s Goldberg Variations, Art Tatum’s demented stride piano, Arnold Schoenberg’s ironic take on the Viennese waltz, a delicate miniature from Tao and Teicher’s More Forever, and threading it all together, a work that bridges traditions, approaches, and styles—Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. Tao and Teicher’s earlier work, More Forever, is a Bessie Award-winning, New York Times critic’s pick which was lauded for “constantly extending the sonic aspects of dance.” Date: Feb. 4,2022 Time: 8:00 p.m. Location: Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center (The Baker-Baum Concert Hall) Cost: $36-$80 For more information on this event and ticket purchases please visit HERE.

From KPBS: "I think a lot of time classical music is known as difficult, and I wanted to make a point to people that it's just everyday experience — it's nothing different," Jeeyoon Kim said. Kim joined Midday Edition to share selections and insights from her upcoming concert. From the organizer: Join us for an unforgettable musical experience by award-winning classical pianist, Jeeyoon Kim, for her newest project, /si-úm/ which blends classical piano with poetry and black and white photography. 시음 pronounced as /si-úm/ is a made-up word meaning poetry and music in Korean. Kim delights audiences with innovative concert experiences imbued with a sparkling combination of sensitive artistry, broad emotional range, and impeccable technique. A native of South Korea, Kim has inspired a dedicated and passionate fan base by defying conventional wisdom and expanding on the traditional classical concert experience. She is an art activist, educator, podcaster, award-winning performer, and author of her new book “Whenever You’re Ready”.
