Strathmore Ellington Carthan Virtual Concert

Artist in Residence
Ellington Carthan, jazz pianist & composer
Virtual Concert

Sponsored by Daniel and Sarah Gallagher ^♫, Tina and Arthur Lazerow, and Bayo and Funke Oyewole 

Just like his namesake, jazz pulses through Ellington Carthan’s veins. This up-and-coming jazz pianist, whose diverse career includes performing, teaching, producing, and composing, holds dual degrees in jazz studies and music technology. Born in California and raised in North Carolina, it’s perhaps Carthan’s bicoastal upbringing that make him such a versatile musician. Like his mentor, celebrated pianist Cyrus Chestnut, Carthan enjoys mixing genres and resists being typecast. Carthan has been honored to perform at prestigious venues such as The Kennedy Center, the Library of Congress, Smithsonian museums, and more.  

Streaming information coming soon. 

An in-person concert and educational workshop are being planned for later in 2021. Specific dates for these events will be announced at a later time.

♫ Strathmore graciously thanks our Artist in Residence Champions for their multi-year commitment and above-and-beyond support to the AIR program.
