Critically acclaimed, as “a rare talent” and “a true Wunderkind,” Chicago born Jeremy Jordan burst onto the music scene at age 9 playing Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in a live televised performance. Following studies at the famed Juilliard School in NYC, he has been heard all around the world at Carnegie Hall, United Nations Arts Council, the American Liszt Society, Concertgebouw, Tokyo Opera City, Prague’s Rudolfinum, and Chicago’s Ravinia Festival. Equally fluent in both classical and jazz idioms, Jeremy will explore a diverse range of styles and genres - classical masterworks, his own compositions and arrangements, and even Jazz or Gospel standards.
