On December 7th, to celebrate the release of his much-anticipated album, Inheritances, pianist Adam Tendler will perform works from his headline-grabbing program and offer insights into its genesis. After his father’s unexpected death, Tendler used his complete inheritance, an envelope full of cash received in a parking lot, to commission a broad spectrum of today’s most sought after composers—also his friends—to compose piano works exploring the theme of ‘inheritance’ itself. Woven into a single intimate program of “little masterpieces” (New York Times), each reflecting a “melancholy beauty beyond conventions” (Pioneer Press), this “wildly unexpected” (Star Tribune) program tells a universal story of lineage, loss, and place, and has moved audiences internationally. Garnering national media attention since its premiere, Inheritances has become a powerful meditation on confronting our past, and a catalyst for countless listeners to move forward.
