Join the Library for our Autumn Concert Series on Fridays from September 3 to October 28. Each concert will begin at 1 p.m. in the Winn Room. Doors will open 15 minutes prior to the performance. On October 21, jazz pianist and San Diego Symphony guest artist Joshua White will perform. Pianist Joshua White has been praised by legendary musicians like Herbie Hancock as having “immense talent." He has also distinguished himself as a formidable leader among his peers. Born and raised in Southern California, White received early training at the piano and developed rapidly through rigorous study of both Western European Classical literature and the Black American Music traditions. Shortly after placing in the top two as a finalist at the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Piano Competition, Joshua began concertizing as a soloist and musical collaborator all over the world -- and continues to maintain an active touring schedule throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia. White can most often be heard with his critically-acclaimed trio (featuring Karl McComas-Reichl, bass and Tyler Kreutel, drums), as well as The Mark Dresser Quintet, Nicole Mitchell's Black Earth Ensemble, The Daniel Rosenboom Quartet, Steph Richards & Super Sense, and LANCASTER (featuring Eric Revis, bass; Jeff Parker, guitar; and Guillermo Brown, drums).
