We launched the Leader Talks project to share with you a nice portion of inspiration from wonderful leaders in Ukraine and in the U.S. during the challenging times of COVID-19.
Jazz do it! Join our very special musical edition of Leader Talks with Emmet Cohen, multifaceted American jazz pianist and composer, who is one of his generation's pivotal artistic figures.

We’ll be streaming this session to our Facebook page on July 27th at 7 PM (Kyiv time). Join us and feel free to ask any questions you have.
More about Emmet:
Leader of the "Emmet Cohen Trio," Cohen presents jazz performance lectures through the YoungArts Foundation and Lincoln Center's "Jazz for Young People" program. He is a winner of the 2019 American Pianists Association competition and creator of the Masters Legacy Series, an ongoing album project in which he performs alongside established icons of jazz such as Benny Golson, Ron Carter, George Coleman and Jimmy Cobb.
Emmet has appeared in the Monterey, Newport, North Sea, Bern, and Edinburgh jazz festivals, among others, and at many famous music venues, including Rose Hall and the Kennedy Center. Cohen believes that playing jazz is "about communicating the deepest level of humanity and individuality; it's essentially about connections," both among musicians and with audiences.
