Community Concerts at Calvary - 120 Grand Street, Newburgh

Justin Kolb’s programming champions music by living American composers and music that lives in undeserved obscurity. Such programming includes works by Hermann Cohen (the infamous young ward of Franz Liszt) and the Afro-Cubano Gran Sonata by Cuban composer Alfredo Diez Nieto. His recitals celebrate traditional literature and include lively commentary that is always interesting and sometimes humorous. Prepare to be spirited away with his combination of brilliance and affection. “The piano works, played with panache by Justin Kolb, have similarly wide stylistic range, mingling tonal and atonal elements but usually melodious and always listener-friendly.” — The Washington Post
