About this Event
Performing original and jazz standards, American Piano Awards finalist Caelan Cardello began piano at age 5, training in classical and jazz with mentors like Fred Hersch and Dave Kikoski. He developed his skills at Jazz House Kids under Christian McBride, performing with jazz legends such as Jimmy Cobb and Ravi Coltrane. His performances include Jazz at Lincoln Center and the Newport Jazz Festival.
Caelan’s awards include the NJ Governor’s Award, the BMI Future Jazz Master Award. A William Paterson University graduate, he now pursues a master’s at Juilliard and performs regularly in NYC and beyond.
This concert is co-presented by the American Piano Awards. Their annual competition alternates between classical and jazz piano and offers significant opportunities for the country’s young premier pianists, ages 18–30, to advance their careers.
All finalists – chosen from a series of juried performances – receive a cash prize and the competition does not have repertoire requirements. Past laureates from both genres have gone on to mightily successful professional careers with international accolades.
