The Fred Hersch Pocket Orchestra comes to National Sawdust to feature the compositions of 10-time Grammy® nominee Fred Hersch, one of jazz’s master pianists and composers.

As the first pianist to perform weeklong engagements at New York’s iconic jazz venue, the Village Vanguard, Fred Hersch’s work became essential to the jazz canon. His Pocket Orchestra is one of his crowning achievements: a distinctive ensemble comprised of piano, voice, trumpet and percussion.

The iconic British singer and lyricist Norma Winstone contributed lyrics for this concert. Trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, vocalist Aubrey Johnson, and percussionist Rogerio Bocatto rounds out the quartet.
