Counterpoint: Conrad Tao & Caleb Teicher

Details

Prepare to be gobsmacked
Pianist and composer Conrad Tao and tap dancer and choreographer Caleb Teicher reimagine an Aria from Bach’s Goldberg Variations, Art Tatum’s demented stride piano, Arnold Schoenberg’s ironic take on the Viennese waltz, and more, exploring the counterpoint between their perspectives. Threading it all together, a work that bridges traditions, approaches, and styles—Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue.

“Former prodigies, Tao and Teicher feed off each other’s virtuosity. Presented with genuine delight, the performances left them exhausted and the audience gobsmacked.”
