Internationally Renowned Pianist Stephanie Trick Presented by Tri-State Jazz Society, Her First Philadelphia Area Performance at Community Arts Center

Based in St. Louis, Stephanie has a national and international following as an extraordinary ragtime, boogie woogie, and stide pianist. This will be her first Philadelphia area appearance. Stephanie began classical piano study at age 5, but came to love the syncopation and swinging rhythm of early jazz. After pursuing a music degree from the University of Chicago, she embarked on an extensive performance schedule across the United States and Europe in a variety of venues, including the Teatro Dal Verme in Milan, Italy, the Breda Jazz Festival in the Netherlands, the Arbors Records Invitational Jazz Party, and the Sacramento Music Festival. In 2008, 2010, and again in 2014, she was invited to perform at the international Stride and Swing Summit in Boswil, Switzerland. In 2012 she received the prestigious Kobe-Breda Jazz Friendship Award, and in 2014 she played for the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall at the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival. Her show features the music of James P. Johnson and other stride piano composers. Dick Hyman calls her “One of the nicest gifts to arrive on the jazz piano scene in recent times”. $10 first timers and members — $20 general admission. Free for students with IDs and children with paying adult. Pay at the door — no advance sales or reservations. More information at www.tristatejazz.org....
