About this concert
8:00 PM EST
Stories Untold is a piano trio album of original music that asks how large-scale composition and the spontaneity of improvisation can complement each other. Nitsan Kolko draws on narratives from literature and personal memory, weaving them into musical traditions spanning jazz, classical, and Brazilian influences. The compositions play with the concept of form, building large structures that hold room for real-time discovery within them. The title reflects that duality: stories still being told, shaped as much by what's written as by what's found in the moment. Stories Untold releases November 13th on Adhyaropa Records.
