Hailed as the "best jazz pianist of his generation" (TIME), Cyrus Chestnut began his musical career playing piano at the Mount Calvary Star Baptist Church at the age of six in his hometown of Baltimore. After studying at Peabody Prep and Berklee, he honed his craft playing with legends like Wynton Marsalis, Chick Corea, and Dizzy Gillespie. With a remarkable ability to quote just about anything musically, this will be a rare opportunity to hear him perform as a soloist.

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.
