2. Arooj Aftab, Vijay Iyer, Shahzad Ismaily

The brilliant jazz pianist Vijay Iyer, Grammy-winning singer Arooj Aftab, and multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily continue their brilliant, beautiful conversation. The trio met in New York City and dubbed themselves Love in Exile. Together they’ve forged a singular voice that takes their distinct backgrounds and vast histories of collaboration as a starting point. Individually, they’re extraordinary musicians who see through boundaries between genres and cultures without abandoning the particulars of either. Together, though, they’re artists painting in tandem, their music developing from wisps of piano and shimmers of texture, with Aftab’s voice whispering along the edges and commanding center stage—all without sacrificing their keen sense of interdependence. This is delicate, imaginative music defined by a sense of timeless beauty and sudden surprise. Programs, artists, dates, prices, and availability subject to change.
