✨ Season 6 of The Piano Pod is here! ✨ This year, it’s all about Creativity and Connection — the messy, vulnerable, transformative stories behind the music. 🎹 We kick things off with an inspiring lineup: 🎶 Chad Lawson on September 9, 8:00 pm ET. Mădălina Dănilă & Hugh Sung — the award-winning Mada & Hugh Piano Duo, whose artistry and unique bond radiate joy, innovation, and cultural connection. And for the first time ever — The Piano Pod Live in Concert! 🎉 📅 October 4, 2025 📍 Stiefel Hall at The New School, in collaboration with Mannes Prep. Featuring performances and conversations with Donna Weng Friedman, Dr. Jee Hoon Krska, Dr. Nnenna Ogwo, and Eleonor Bindman. 💡 Why tune in?
