We kick off a new tradition of jazz during the holidays! Winner of Downbeat Magazine’s 2024 Critic’s Poll, Fortner is a 2026 Grammy-winning pianist who was a regular member of trumpeter Roy Hargrove’s quintet. He plays a solo program of jazz standards and original compositions infused with his New Orleans roots.

Selections from his album Solo Game

The intrepid MacArthur grant-winning pianist has dazzled our audience for over twenty years with his brilliant programming and impeccable musicianship. Called “a pianist you want to hear no matter what he performs” (NY Times), his program intersperses old and new etudes by women composers with two classic Beethoven sonatas.
