An Evening w/ Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater

“Best Keyboardist of All Time” (MusicRadar Magazine), virtuoso musician/composer Jordan Rudess, will embark on a solo piano tour “An Evening with Jordan Rudess” featuring the music of Dream Theater reimagined for the piano. Rudess’ solo piano concerts have sold out venues throughout the United States, Europe, Asia, Australia and South America. This tour will begins May, 2021 on the East Coast and continues with a West Coast tour through September. Jordan Rudess explains the tour, “Many of my fans only know me as a progressive rock keyboardist but piano is where it all started for me. Sitting at the piano has always felt like the most natural way for me to express my musicality. This tour is bringing me to some of the biggest and most exciting markets for Dream Theater. I’m really excited to return to these countries and share this acoustic evening with some of the most supportive fans in the world. “Calling Jordan Rudess a legend is an understatement”—Keyboard Magazine. Rudess’ solo concert will travel through his fascinating musical journey–how a young Juilliard piano prodigy destined for a classical music career evolved into a keyboard rock star phenomenon. “Jordan Rudess has journeyed from the depths of tradition to the ever-expanding outer limits of musical possibility, inviting listeners along for the ride. The results are, unsurprisingly, consistently beyond world-class.” The Musical Melting Pot.

He trained at the world-renowned Juilliard School of Music, where he first studied as a child prodigy at a genine. As a teen, he defected to synthesizers in a classic act of rock ’n’ roll rebellion.In1994,Keyboardreaders voted him “best new talent,” and since then has become the universally acknowledged heir to the shredding throne of such prog-rock royalty as Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman. He is renowned for his unique fusion of classical technique and influences with rock sensibilities.
