NEW YORK (June 15, 2021) – Voted “Best Keyboardist of All Time” (Music Radar Magazine), virtuoso musician/composer Jordan Rudess, will embark on a solo piano tour “An Evening with Jordan Rudess” featuring the music of Dream Theater reimagined for the piano.

I’m really excited to return to these countries and share this acoustic evening with some of the most supportive fans in the world.”

Rudess’ solo concert will travel through his fascinating musical journey – how a young Juilliard piano prodigy destined for a classical music career evolved into a keyboard rock star phenomenon. 

“Jordan Rudess has journeyed from the depths of tradition to the ever-expanding outer limits of musical possibility, inviting listeners along for the ride. The results are, unsurprisingly, consistently beyond world-class.” The Musical Melting Pot
