Charlie Kaplan: Classical Musician in New York

About Charlie Kaplan

Charlie Kaplan is a New York City–based artist working in free-form performance, often using the room itself as part of the piece. At Cassette, Kaplan appears in sets billed as KARAOKE NIGHT, where familiar frameworks become a loose score for improvisation. Their work has intersected with collaborators including TASHA, Jachary, TALK BAZAAR, Anand Wilder, Babas, Ravi Shavi, the Ken Kobayashi Project, and Max Hoffman. The performances favor immediacy over polish, with attention to timing, tone, and the edges of audience participation.
