Secrest Series inaugurates new Steinway with Jazz duo: Christian McBride and Brad Mehldau

Get ready for an extraordinary night of jazz as Christian McBride and Brad Mehldau, two of the genre’s most respected artists, take the Brendle Recital Hall stage together on Tuesday, October 21, at 7:30 p.m. Another highlight of the evening will be the inaugural performance on the new Hamburg Model D concert grand Steinway piano.

Mehldau’s “intimate piano voice” will intertwine with McBride’s “sophistication and swing” in a partnership built on decades of friendship and shared musical history. Their celebrated collaborations include iconic albums such as MoodSwing, RoundAgain, and LongGone. This is a duo performance Brad Mehldau calls “a dream come true” – an event not to be missed for any jazz enthusiast.
