RAUL
MIDÓN
Presented in Collaboration
with City Winery
“ ... a one-man band
who turns a guitar into
an orchestra and his voice
into a chorus.” — The New York Times
Friday, October 1
8:00pm / Music Room / Tickets start at $30
Ever since being told when he was a child that his blindness
meant that “you can’t do this, you can’t do that,” Raul Midón
has lived a life devoted to beating the odds and shattering
stereotypes. Midón has an incredible signature combination
of silky voice and percussive guitar, which has led this soulful
singer/songwriter to release 11 studio albums, two of which
have been nominated for a Grammy Award. Raul Midón
doesn’t need to be labeled by genre; he simply sings with his
soul, connecting with audiences far and wide.

Thursday, April 14
8:00pm / Music Room / Tickets start at $30
World-renowned jazz pianist and composer Brad Mehldau
performs an intimate solo concert. An improviser first and
foremost, he greatly cherishes the surprise and wonder that can
occur from a spontaneous musical idea, but he also has a deep
fascination for the formal architecture of music and it informs
everything he plays. The two sides of Mehldau’s personality —
the improviser and the formalist — play off each other, and the
effect is often something like controlled chaos.
