I am performing a rare solo piano concert in the Project 88 Concert series in Berwyn on Saturday, November 11, 2023, @ 6:30 PM.

Location: 6720 31st Street, Berwyn, IL 60402 (Unity Lutheran Church)

Tickets are free (donations accepted), but you can reserve seats [here](https://project88musicacademy.org/event/november-concert-series-peter-saltzman-piano/?ref=musically-novel.ghost.io). Seats are filling up fast, so don’t delay!

As you can see in the program below, I’ll be performing a mix of my originals and arrangments of some pretty well-known tunes. (Expect to be surprised by the latter: these are anything but standard jazzy interpretations of pop tunes.)

*Stay tuned: I’ll share some recordings of some of the music before the concert.*
