Award-winning musician and Harvard professor Vijay Iyer will kick off his residency at USC with an intimate solo piano performance at Newman Recital Hall. Iyer’s musical language is indebted to the great composer-pianists from Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk to Alice Coltrane and Geri Allen, the rhythmic traditions of South Asia and West Africa, and the African American creative music movement of the ’60s and ’70s.
