Caelan Cardello Trio | 7 pm

Pianist Caelan Cardello brings imagination, lyricism, and deep musical connection to every performance. Praised by Bill Charlap for playing that is "an extension of his soul," Cardello has performed with celebrated artists including Christian McBride, Jimmy Cobb, Rufus Reid, and Randy Brecker. A finalist in both the 2026/27 American Piano Awards and the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz International Piano Competition, he is equally at home leading his own trio or collaborating with fellow artists. Blending a strong foundation in both jazz and classical music, Cardello's performances are marked by virtuosity, spontaneity, and expressive storytelling.
