Pianist/composer Dawn Clement presents a special concert featuring a set of her new works for string quartet and voice featuring violist Mara Gearman, cellist Paige Stockley, and violinists Mischa Schmidt and Adrianna Hulscher, as well as a set of solo piano improvisations by Clement.
An ebullient pianist, a graceful vocalist and a blooming composer, Dawn Clement has gained the respect and adoration of critics, fans and musicians on both coasts and abroad. Her range of expression is unfettered and is bolstered by a ninja-like mastery of her instruments. Fueled by an uncanny musicality, Dawn is comfortable in a multitude of terrains-soloing over a straight-ahead standard, navigating complicated arrangements with challenging meters or gently phrasing the softest of ballads. While her faculty is exceptional, she wields it judiciously, playing with intention, spaciousness and great care. The result is an original sound that is joyful and mesmerizing. In the words of Alexander Stern (All About Jazz), Dawn "seems to have everything going for her." It is no wonder she is one of the most sought after musicians working today.
Dawn Clement is an adjunct instructor at Cornish College of the Arts, where she also received her Bachelors of Music. She is currently working on her Masters of Composition at the Vermont College of Fine Arts. Throughout her dazzling career, Dawn has played with some of the brightest luminaries in contemporary jazz and has appeared at prestigious venues across the globe. She has also released five CDs to date: "hush," "Break," "Christmas with Dawn," "Turn Me" and "Tempest Colbalt".
