Venue

Meany Hall – Katharyn Alvord Gerlich Theater

Single tickets go on sale August 4.

Pianist Conrad Tao and tap dancer Caleb Teicher deepen their collaborative partnership with Counterpoint II. The harmonic, rhythmic and theatrical counterpoint between the artists expands their individual expressions into a collective experience that drives the imagination and opens the heart. Stylistically diverse music includes pieces by Bach, Schoenberg and Mozart, alongside compositions and improvisations by Tao and Teicher, and selections from Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story.

 

Former prodigies, Tao and Teicher feed off of each other's virtuosity.
