TLI and Berkshires Week Present: Rising Stars – Evren Ozel and Brandon Goldberg

Experience an extraordinary night of music as the Tanglewood Learning Institute and Berkshires Week present a special recital featuring two rising stars: classical concert pianist Evren Ozel and jazz sensation Brandon Goldberg.

Evren Ozel has wowed audiences since debuting with the Minnesota Orchestra at just 11 years old. Now a celebrated soloist, he has performed with the Cleveland Orchestra, Jacksonville Symphony, and The Orchestra Now at Bard College. This spring his much-anticipated album of Mozart Concertos with the ORF Radio Symphony of Vienna and conductor Howard Griffiths will be released on Alpha Classics. Ozel's accolades include a 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant and a 2022 Salon de Virtuosi Career Grant.

Brandon Goldberg has earned acclaim on some of jazz's biggest stages, from the Newport Jazz Festival to SFJazz and Birdland Theater. His latest album, "Brandon Goldberg Trio: Live at Dizzy’s," showcases his exceptional talent. Goldberg is a 2024 YoungArts Winner with Distinction, a semifinalist in the 2023 Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz International Piano Competition, and the youngest recipient of the 2022 ASCAP Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composer Award.

Following their breathtaking performances, join us for a relaxed post-concert reception at Cindy’s Café, where you can meet the artists and mingle with fellow music lovers.

Presented by Berkshires Week, the Berkshire Eagle’s guide to the best in art, culture, food, and outdoor experiences, and the Tanglewood Learning Institute, now with year-round programming, this event is a must-see for residents and visitors alike.
