The Sequester Series - George Caldwell
Welcome to the Sequester Series, a weekly concert featuring solo music performers from across the Western New York region. Every Tuesday night in February and March at 8:00 pm, Hallwalls will host a live performance from our theater streamed live to you and viewable on this page. Each stream will cost $7.00, but Hallwalls Members will have free access! Consider this an incentive for becoming a member - buy a membership at any level and get access to the entire Sequester Series ($63 value).
George Caldwell hails from Clarksdale, Mississippi and currently resides in Buffalo where he teaches at the University at Buffalo and performs in multiple projects. After a brief stint with Clifford Jordan, Caldwell followed Mulgrew Miller into the piano chair of the Duke Ellington Orchestra, leading to seven years with The Count Basie Orchestra, under the direction of Frank Foster. Some of the many great artists he has shared the bandstand with include Dizzy Gillespie, Cab Calloway, Frank Wess, Clark Terry, Quincy Jones, Joe Williams, George Benson, Kenny Garrett, Art Blakey, Savion Glover, Lou Rawls, Lionel Hampton, George Coleman, Louis Smith, Joe Newman, Roy Hargrove, Bobby McFerrin, Max Roach and Jon Faddis.
Join us and experience this rare opportunity to hear George perform solo in Hallwalls intimate theater on our beautiful 1920s Steinway baby grand piano.
Hallwalls Music Program is made possible through public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency and a grant from the Cullen Foundation.
