Synergy I: Intersection, SummerFest 2019

“The event that launched the Synergy Series was a dream come true for me- performing with one of the greatest jazz singers of our day, Cecile McLorin Salvant, as well as one of the top jazz pianists in the world, Aaron Diehl.
The idea for the evening, which blurred the lines between Jazz and Classical music, originated with a Nina Simone Recording I heard once, in which she improvised in the style of Bach in the middle of the song Love Me Or Leave Me. For the final song of our set that evening we performed our own version of the song, in which I got to improvise on stage for the first time in my life, alongside Aaron Diehl- who is a master of improvisation. A thrilling experience!”
– Inon Barnatan, SummerFest Music Director.
