He received his formal training through scholarships at the New England Conservatory and Oberlin Conservatory. \nCooper performs on a “Januarius Gaglianus 1751” on generous loan from a private collection. \n“He painted his lines with bold colors; his tone tastefully wavered between silvery delicacy and dark\, grainy power.” \n– The Arts Fuse \nRussian-born pianist Dina Vainshtein has degrees from the Gnesins Institute of Music in Moscow\, the Cleveland Institute of Music and the New England Conservatory of Music. Ms. Vainshtein received a Special Prize for Best Collaboration at the International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. \nMs. Vainshtein has performed at Alice Tully Hall and Weill Recital Hall in New York City\, Jordan Hall in Boston and the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory.

SUMMARY:Danny Fisher-Lochhead Large Ensemble at Luce Spirits
DESCRIPTION:The Danny Fisher-Lochhead Large Ensemble will be performing music from their 2025 album “World Of Difference” as well as a handful of new and eager pieces. The group is an assemblage of some of Maine’s most compelling improvising musicians\, featuring Ryan Blotnick\, Ross Gallagher\, Emma Stanley\, Aaron Henry\, Brian Shankar Adler\, Dan Barrett\, and Jonathan Henderson. The music they make bears the mark of the jazz tradition and various Afro-diasporic musics that formed their training\, and travels out from there to embrace both what’s close at hand and far afield. Luce Spirits is a small and vital place where the music will be so close you can taste it.
