Following his performances in the 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons, Phillips Music continues the exploration of the creative output of leading pianist, composer, and scholar Vijay Iyer, appearing this season in collaboration with the Parker Quartet.
The group performs Iyer's complex and multi-layered music for piano quintet in works including Time, Place, Action (2014) and Mozart Effects (2011). Iyer is known for his boundary-crossing work in improvised and notated musical forms in jazz and contemporary classical music. He has shared a productive musical partnership with the Parker Quartet, a Grammy-winning ensemble equally well known for their exploration of the core repertoire and their stalwart commitment to the music of today.
This event will be broadcast live from the Music Room on Sunday, October 22 at 4pm Eastern. All registered ticket holders will receive a link directing them to a livestream webpage where the performance can be accessed. Ticket holders will be able to watch this performance "On Demand" for 48 hours following the broadcast time.

About Vijay Iyer, piano
Described by The New York Times as a "social conscience, multimedia collaborator, system builder, rhapsodist, historical thinker and multicultural gateway," composer-pianist Vijay Iyer is one of the leading music-makers of his generation. His honors include a MacArthur Fellowship, a Doris Duke Performing Artist Award, a United States Artist Fellowship, a Grammy nomination, and the Alpert Award in the Arts. His most recent album, a trio session with drummer Tyshawn Sorey and bassist Linda May Han Oh titled Uneasy (ECM Records, 2021), was named Best New Music in Pitchfork and was hailed by The New Yorker as "a triumph of small-group interplay and fertile invention."
