Two Icons, Unrivaled Chemistry
Christian McBride and Brad Mehldau — two music icons with a long history of collaboration — bring the intimacy and charm of a jazz club to Symphony Center. In a rare bass and piano duo performance, these Chicago favorites showcase their extraordinary musical rapport and captivating interplay. The New York Times hails Mehldau’s “elegant inventiveness,” while DownBeat praises McBride’s “unmistakable virtuosity.” The combination promises an evening of nuanced musical conversation.
