Tony Fajt and his jazz quartet return to the Hudson Opera House for an "invigorating evening of musical cross-pollination" (The New Yorker). The members of Window Quartet met during their studies at Bard College in 2013 and have been working together ever since.
Their music oscillates between ambient textures, singing melodies, and driving rhythms, much of it inspired by the Hudson Valley countryside and the California savannas.
Born in Czechoslovakia, Tony Fajt is the fortunate offspring of Bittova & Fajt, a legendary avant-garde duo, and a recipient of the Theodore Presser Award and Margaret C. Shafer Prize for Composition. Recently, he's been exploring the possibilities of prepared piano and extended techniques, and has performed at Le Poisson Rouge, Merkin Hall, The Morgan Library, and the National Theater in the Czech Republic.
