Steve Sandberg & Alaya: “Music from a country I’ve never been to but always wanted to visit.” Concerts begin with performances from the solo classical piano repertoire and continue with the quartet’s soaring improvisations on originals that draw from European, African, Latin, Balkan and Indian traditions. The group made its debut in June, 2016, with a sold-out show at the DiMenna Center in NYC, and will record its first CD this March.

“A great combination of different genres … received a well-deserved standing ovation.” (Asaf Blasberg newsletter)
