This group explores melody, harmony, color and texture with fearless abandon. Don't miss it.
“Landon Knoblock is an honest musician . . . He performed on the piano with ranging confidence, and everything was fair game -- note clusters, sonic bursts, silence, internal plucking . . . a challenging set that pushed his young audience, rather than pandered to them."

“[Knoblock's] touch, both at the keyboard and in his sense of structure, is graceful and easy but it takes real work to achieve this kind of mastery."
