On Friday December 06, 2024, Adam Tendler releases his new album, Inheritances, via New Amsterdam Records. The release show is December 07, 2024 at Lincoln Center in the Atrium Space.
After his father’s unexpected death, Tendler used his complete inheritance, an envelope full of cash received in a parking lot, to commission a broad spectrum of today’s most sought after composers—also his friends—to compose piano works exploring the theme of ‘inheritance’ itself. Woven into a single intimate program of “little masterpieces” (New York Times), each reflecting a “melancholy beauty beyond conventions” (Pioneer Press), this “wildly unexpected” (Star Tribune) program tells a universal story of lineage, loss, and place, and has moved audiences internationally. Garnering national media attention since its premiere, Inheritances has become a powerful meditation on confronting our past, and a catalyst for countless listeners to move forward.
Produced by Grammy-winning engineer Judith Sherman, this much-anticipated album features new works by an all-star lineup including Laurie Anderson, Devonté Hynes, Nico Muhly, inti figgis-vizueta, Pamela Z, Ted Hearne, Angélica Negrón, Christopher Cerrone, Marcos Balter, Missy Mazzoli, Darian Donovan Thomas, Sarah Kirkland Snider, Scott Wollschleger, Mary Prescott, Timo Andres, and John Glover.

Bowerbird is pleased to present pianist Karl Larson performing work from the recently released album Dark Days featuring solo piano compositions of Scott Wollschleger. Dark Days chronicles Scott’s solo piano repertoire written between 2007 and 2020. Aspects of style that are heard on his first album Soft Aberration are present again, but now filtered through the introspective immediacy of the solo piano medium, as we hear coloristic harmonies, a penchant for using displaced rhythms and repetition to subvert phrasing expectations, and an intuitively driven approach to form and structure.
