After 15 years as leader of The Idan Raichel Project, world music superstar Idan Raichel is refocusing on the basic essence of his music with the stripped-down, solo piano concert Idan Raichel: Piano Songs in the Music Center at Strathmore on Thursday, February 22, 2018 at 8 p.m. The intimate concert format inspired his 36-song double album Idan Raichel – Piano – Songs, due for release in January 2018 and featuring two previously unreleased compositions. Solo on stage, Raichel jumps from acoustic to electric piano, percussion, drum pad and looper, to even toys from his two young children, in a testament to the transcendent joy of music-making and his boundless enthusiasm for experimentation. This intimate and inspiring show allows Raichel to demonstrate his gifts as a singer-songwriter that have made fans and collaborators of India.Arie, Dave Matthews, and Alicia Keys. This performance is part of Strathmore’s Windows to the World series of international performances, harnessing the potential of music and art to break down barriers, spark conversation, and build understanding between people of different backgrounds.
