Vijay Iyer Concert Tickets
Discover an unforgettable evening of timeless compositions with Vijay Iyer tickets. Believing in the shape-shifting, boundless possibilities of jazz, Vijay Iyer is a highly acclaimed pianist who melds be-bop grooves with Eastern folk melodies and has explored electronic sounds, prog-rock ideas and African rhythms. Born to Indian immigrants in Albany, New York he began playing classical violin at just three years old, but when his sister started taking piano lessons a few years later, Iyer began playing along with her, learning the instrument by ear. The pop genius of Michael Jackson and Prince and 1980s hip-hop heroes Run-DMC and Public Enemy were the soundtracks to his youth but after joining a high school jazz ensemble he discovered Herbie Hancock, Wynton Marsalis and Thelonious Monk. He was on his way to an academic career after studying physics and mathematics at Yale University when he moved to California to attend Berkeley and began playing in groups with saxophonist Steve Coleman and trombonist George E.
Lewis in the mid-1990s. His work with Rudresh Mahanthappa on albums 'Panoptic Modes' and 'Blood Sutra' built on John Coltrane's globe-trotting improvisations and Isler cared little for genre snobbery and musical boundaries as he teamed up with hip-hop producer Mike Ladd, composed for orchestras and string quartets and played keyboards with Greg Tate's sprawling fusion outfit Burnt Sugar.
He crossed over to a wider audience in 2009 when his album 'Historicity' featured an eclectic range of covers including a Leonard Bernstein show tune, an electro-rap banger by M.I.A. and a soul-pop Stevie Wonder classic. His lonesome piano album 'Solo', elegant, rumbling R&B record 'Accelerando' and electro-jazz experiment 'Mutations' were also well-received by critics, and in 2013 he was awarded the prestigious MacArthur Fellows Grant of $625,000. He has also worked on film scores, became a Professor of Arts at the Harvard University Department of Music and was named Downbeat Magazine Artist of the Year three times, before releasing new work 'Far from Over' with his sextet in 2017. Whether it’s a grand symphony in a prestigious concert hall or a chamber music performance, there’s something all fans of classical music will enjoy.
