Join us for an intimate evening with David Amram: a world renowned composer, musician, author, conductor and collaborator without boundaries who has been cheerfully ignoring musical categories since the 1940s. His output includes jazz tunes, symphonies, operas, film scores, theater music, off-the-cuff talking blues and idiom-hopping performances where he’s likely to sing, play piano, pennywhistle and percussion. We are lucky to have this fascinating and accomplished world traveler as a fellow Hudson Valley resident! 

Appointed by Leonard Bernstein as the first Composer In Residence for the New York Philharmonic, Amram is now one of the most performed and influential composers of our time. He has travelled to over thirty countries and collaborated or worked with the likes of Jack Kerouac, Elia Kazan, Arthur Miller, Langston Hughes, Thelonious Monk, Johnny Depp, Hunter S. Thompson, Dizzy Gillespie, Odetta, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Betty Carter, Pete Seeger, Paquito D´Rivera, Tito Puente and Jerry Jeff Walker.

“David Amram is one of the most versatile and skilled musicians America has ever produced.” (Washington Post).

“He’s one of the most talented musicians in the universe!” (Pete Seeger, New York Times)

 “David Amram is the quintessential American composer.” (Michael Barrett – Conductor, Director of Caramoor and Moab Music
