Cassie Kollman and Matt Savage in Concert

Join us for a fun afternoon concert of jazz, blues, R&amp;B, soul, and pop with vocalist Cassie Kollman and pianist Matt Savage! Cassie Kollman is a contemporary vocalist, songwriter, and bandleader who possesses an informed command of her craft and performs a wide range of musical genres, mostly those rooted in Black American traditions; including jazz, R&amp;B, blues, soul, pop, musical theater, New music, and classical. Her specialization is vocal improvisation. An agile vocalist and deep listener, Cassie creates compositions and arrangements that are vocally ambitious, harmonically intricate, and lyrically exploratory. The result is a soulful, quirky, blues-based experience of jazz-pop music.&nbsp; Cassie’s main project, Cassie Kollman and Friends, performs frequently in the Boston area. Cassie holds a Masters of Music in Jazz and Contemporary Music from the Longy School of Music of Bard College, and teaches studio voice in the Boston area. A former grade-school music teacher and non-profit manager, Cassie is passionate about arts accessibility, music education, and live community events. Her debut album, Lady in Shoes, is available now. Matt Savage has had a remarkable 20+ year professional career as a jazz musician, bandleader and composer with ensembles of all different sizes. He’s played with some of the biggest names in jazz, including Chick Corea, the Ellington All Stars, Chaka Khan, Wynton Marsalis, Bobby Watson, Clark Terry, Jimmy Heath, Jason Moran, Arturo O’Farrill, John Pizzarelli, Joshua Redman, Terri Lyne Carrington, Jon Faddis, Jerry Bergonzi and Donny McCaslin among others. He’s also opened for rock legends Neil Young and Stephen Stills, and has performed with Steve Earle, Jackson Browne, Shawn Colvin and Al Stewart. He composed and recorded the score for a full-length documentary film, Sound of Redemption: The Frank Morgan Story. Media appearances include Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz, NPR’s All Things Considered, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, The Late Show with David Letterman, The Today Show, and ABC’s 20/20. He holds a Master's Degree from Manhattan School of Music and balances his professional music career with teaching. Matt currently leads the Matt Savage Quartet and the Matt Savage Groove Experiment. His latest album, The Whole Package!, is available now. No registration is required but seating is limited on a first-come first-served basis.
