Conrad Tao, piano - Caleb Teicher, tap dance

Pianist and composer Conrad Tao joins forces with tap dancer and choreographer Caleb Teicher in a brilliant recital of music and dance, both composed and improvised. Each artist earns raves for electric performances; in this program, their debut as a duo, their collaboration is astonishing, with an intriguing music mix and an impressive range of style and mood. Teicher’s comment captures the essence of their collaboration: “it’s hard to sense where the music starts and the dancing ends, or where the dancing starts and the music ends. They’re just one.” Excerpted here is their brilliant rendition of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue.
