Music for Piano New York Performances

At The Stone at The New School, Matthew Welch presents *Music for Piano* with pianists Isabelle O’Connell and Welch sharing the instrument’s foreground. The set sits between jazz and rock/pop vocabulary, using improvisation and experimental methods to treat the piano as both rhythm section and sound source. It arrives as part of Welch’s ongoing residency at the venue, a New York City program that often functions as an informal archive of the current downtown scene. One clear throughline is process over repertoire, with structure emerging in real time rather than being announced.
