Baltimore's own Cyrus Chestnut performs a program of spirituals and hymns on the George “Doc” Manning stage at An die Musik Live!

A masterful jazz pianist Cyrus Chestnut balances his lithe technical skill with a robust, soulful style that speaks to his deep gospel roots and love of swinging hard bop. Raised in the church, he learned how to infuse his swinging, classically trained style with a warm gospel sound. Every set he plays is unique, as he reads the audience and the space to create a singular musical experience.
