“...Emotionally involving…musically rewarding…. [with] a sense of true dramatic stakes… You
will be moved, profoundly and intensely.” — The New York Times
After his father’s unexpected death, pianist Adam Tendler used his entire inheritance, a wad of
cash received in a parking lot, to commission new piano works from a broad spectrum of
today’s most exciting and recognized composers — his friends — to help him process and
reconcile his loss, while exploring the idea of inheritance itself. Woven into one intimate and
unforgettable program, Inheritances tells a universal story of lineage, loss, and place — born
from private grief and transformed into a meditation on confronting the past while facing the
future.
“If the death was a shock, the inheritance was a puzzle... And so, cash in hand, Tendler called a rather glittering cast of his friends and favourite composers to see if they would write works touching in some way on connection and loss." —Stir Vancouver
“Adam Tendler is known as one of contemporary classical music's most intentional and daring pianists. Indeed, the Barre native's latest project, Inheritances, is an intimate, gratifying endeavor achieved through a remarkable bond with his expanding network of renowned musicians… It confirms Tendler's reputation as a bold and instinctive soloist, one whose delicacy matches his intensity.” — Seven Days Vermont
Inheritances features brand new works by an all-star lineup including Laurie Anderson, Devonté Hynes, Nico Muhly, inti figgis-vizueta, Pamela Z, Ted Hearne, Angélica Negrón, Christopher Cerrone, Marcos Balter, Missy Mazzoli, Darian Donovan Thomas, Sarah Kirkland Snider, Scott Wollschleger, Mary Prescott, Timo Andres, and John Glover.
