Sullivan Fortner Solo Piano Concert

Sullivan Fortner returns to the Barcelona International Jazz Festival after a memorable performance last autumn, this time presenting a unique solo piano concert entitled 'Solo Game.' This title is inspired by his recent solo double album released in 2023, yet he assures audiences that his performance will not be a mere replication of the recordings. Instead, Fortner is known for his unpredictability: influenced by the ambiance of the day, the city, the piano available, and the audience’s energy, each concert becomes a one-of-a-kind experience. He often takes risks by performing pieces outside his usual repertoire and engages with the audience, making music an act of love and sharing. Recognized as one of the prominent pianists of our time and recently awarded the prestigious Larry J. Bell Award by the Gilmore Foundation, Fortner’s talent is esteemed by his peers, including Fred Hersch, Brad Mehldau, and Jason Moran.
