The first concert in this exciting new series is Chamber Music by Solomon Hoffman in Hempstead House’s beautiful Billiards Room.
A native of Port Washington, NY, Solomon brings original works for strings, winds, brass and piano. His music synthesizes the classical tradition with elements of jazz, folk and minimalism to produce an accessible and unique blend. He draws on a variety of inspirations, from visual art to literature, and is continually inspired by the virtuosity of the musicians with whom he collaborates.
Solomon works primarily as an orchestrator for musical theatre and cabaret. His credits as orchestrator include Far From Canterbury (FringeNYC, Fringe Encores), Plath (FringeNYC), Rope (Pace New Musicals, RSO at 54 Below), War Lesbian (Dixon Place), Columbia Songbook (54 Below), and Trailblazers (NYMF-SLP). As founder of The Songwriter’s Orchestra, he has created over 50 orchestral arrangements of new songs that have been performed at 54 Below, The Laurie Beechman Theatre, Miller Theatre, The Dolphin Café, and (Le) Poisson Rouge.
Enjoy the performance while savoring fine wine with friends.
