Piano Masters & New Voices at The Betsy

Emerging jazz pianists share the spotlight with Grammy Award-winning pianist Tal Cohen during a weekly series at The Betsy in Miami Beach. Held every Tuesday in September, Piano Masters & New Voices pairs an early-evening set by Cohen with a later performance by a student pianist selected by Cohen and fellow University of Miami Frost School of Music professor Martin Bejerano.

September’s featured pianists are:

• September 8: Dan Pappas
• September 15: Bix Cole
• September 22: Ethan Frank
• September 29: Ben Collins-Siegel

The series is part of the Piano Masters and Voices Jazz Artist Initiative, which gives upper-level undergraduate and graduate jazz pianists opportunities to perform publicly, work alongside established musicians and connect with Miami’s jazz community. Cohen has performed with artists including Terence Blanchard, Greg Osby, Ignacio Berroa and Joe Lovano, while Bejerano is a longtime jazz pianist, composer and educator who heads the Jazz Piano Program at the Frost School of Music.

Performances are presented without a cover charge or minimum purchase.
