The Matt Herskowitz Trio - featuring Matt Herskowitz (piano), David Rozenblatt (drums) and Mat Fieldes (bass) – present an evening of Herskowitz's original compositions including, “Scenes from Jerusalem Trilogy” - a piece combining Jewish and Arab musical styles and grooves; “Polonaise Libanaise”; as well as Herskowitz’s arrangement of the Prokofiev Etude in C Minor (op. 2 no. 3) and other original material presented in Herskowitz’s signature contemporary jazz/classical crossover style.

Pianist, composer, songwriter and arranger, he has distinguished himself in several musical genres. His 2007 solo piano release, Matt Herskowitz Plays Gershwin, featuring Gershwin's great solo arrangement of Rhapsody in Blue and Matt's own original solo arrangements of the Concerto in F and Cuban Overture, was nominated in 2009 for Quebec's prestigious classical music Prix Opus awards. It also made Montreal's prominent quotidian La Presse's list of top 10 jazz albums of the year. His 2006 solo release, Gabriel's Message, which features his original arrangements and compositions based on popular Christmas themes, was nominated for Québec's Félix award for “Best Jazz Album” in 2007. A graduate of the Juilliard School in New York and the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, Matt is originally from Albany, New York, and has made Montreal his adopted home of 10 years.
