Three-time Emmy-nominated composer/pianist Steve Sandberg plays original music that masterfully blends classical, world music, and jazz with the excitement of virtuosic improvisation. Steve was the pianist, composer, and arranger for Mario Rivera's legendary "Salsa Refugee." Steve also performed with Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, and Ruben Blades. A highlight for Steve was an appearance in Rio and São Paolo with João Gilberto in a duo with vocalist Bebel Gilberto.

Steve has been live-streaming regularly from Brooklyn's Soapbox Gallery throughout the pandemic, solo and collaborating with many noted NYC musicians. Soon, Steve will travel to Egypt to play concerts and present masterclasses.

In a trio setting with bassist Michael O'Brien (Ron Affif, Ari Hoenig, Dave Samuels), and drummer Tiago Michaelin (Eliane Elias, Esperanza Spalding, Chico Pinheiro), Steve will perform classical music compositions (Afro-Brazilian-Balkan-jazz pieces inspired by classical pieces by Ravel, Bach, Debussy), originals, and standards by Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, and Wayne Shorter. You don't want to miss this dynamic trio at Vics Jazz Loft in the Stabin Museum!
