Adam Tendler, Piano | “Inheritances” | DACAMERA

After his father’s unexpected death, pianist Adam Tendler used his inheritance, a wad of cash received in a parking lot, to begin a commissioning project inviting a broad spectrum of sound artists and composers to create new piano works exploring the idea of ‘inheritance’ itself. Woven into one intimate program, these pieces tell a universal story of lineage, loss and place, and become a meditation on confronting our past while moving forward into the future. Adam Tendler is a recipient of the Lincoln Center Award for Emerging Artists and won the 2022 Yvar Mikhashoff Prize.
