New York City’s finest pianists perform most summer weekdays in Bryant Park, free to the public! Join on the park’s Upper Terrace for a different musician weekly.

Russ Kassoff has always enjoyed his stints at Piano in Bryant Park each year since 2011! Now that live music is slowly returning to normal, Russ has resumed playing trio and solo jazz concerts, clubs, festivals, master classes, private parties, and even concerts as conductor/pianist to the legendary Rita Moreno with her heartfelt and sumptuous autobiographical shows. In 2020 Russ performed 100 consecutive days of solo mini-concerts on Facebook for his loyal and discerning fans! Online concerts are planned moving forward! The virtual world has created opportunities for musicians to perform for selective audiences and Russ has appeared on Zoom, Music On The Inside, featured in the Virtual SUCP Potsdam – Crane school of music reunion, and soloed as part of the Great American Songbook Series created by Michael Feinstein.
