Steinway Artist, pianist, and composer Chad Lawson is a modern-day master of reinvention—his bold interpretation of the classics, electronic loops, and atmospherics resonate with electronic dance music fans and neo-classical traditionalists alike. For his Schwartz Center debut, Lawson will be joined by acclaimed violinist Judy Kang (Lady Gaga, Ryuichi Sakamoto) and cellist Seth Parker Woods (Sting, Peter Gabriel). Bridging the gap between traditional and non-traditional audiences, the concert program features variations on compositions ranging from Chopin to Billie Eilish, including works from his latest album, Breathe.
Known for creating “Classical music for the Spotify generation” (Culture Trip) that has been streamed over 500 million times, Lawson employs contemporary techniques and an emotive, arresting signature sound. He is the official composer for the Amazon television series Lore, and his music has also been used for The Walking Dead, Vampire Diaries, and Viceland.
