Suggests: Creativity, Collaboration, Community Masterclass with Vijay Iyer

Vijay Iyer, Franklin D. and Florence Rosenblatt Professor of the Arts at Harvard University, is a musician and scholar who has been described by the New York Times as a “social conscience, multimedia collaborator, system builder, rhapsodist, historical thinker and multicultural gateway.” The composer-pianist has earned a place as one of the leading music-makers of his generation. Iyer’s honors include a MacArthur Fellowship, a Doris Duke Performing Artist Award, a United States Artists Fellowship, and the Alpert Award in the Arts. His newest album, Compassion, features his acclaimed trio with drummer Tyshawn Sorey and bassist Linda May Han Oh. His lush, expansive collaboration with Arooj Aftab and Shahzad Ismaily, Love in Exile, received two GRAMMY nominations and was named among the best albums of the year in Pitchfork and the New York Times. Iyer’s scholarship dwells at the intersections of music studies, Black studies, and the sciences.
