about

On Friday, December 6, 2024, Adam Tendler (he/him), the “relentlessly adventurous pianist” (Washington Post) releases Inheritances via New Amsterdam Records. After his father’s unexpected death, Tendler used his inheritance, an envelope full of cash received in a parking lot, to begin a commissioning project inviting a broad spectrum of sound artists and composers to create new piano works that explore the theme of ‘inheritance’ itself. Woven into a single “wildly unexpected” (Star Tribune) intimate program that brings “melancholy beauty beyond conventions” (Pioneer Press), these “little masterpieces” (New York Times) tell a universal story of lineage, loss, and place, and become a meditation on confronting our past while moving forward into the future.

The album features new works by composers Laurie Anderson, Devonté Hynes, Nico Muhly, inti figgis-vizueta, Pamela Z, Ted Hearne, Angélica Negrón, Christopher Cerrone, Marcos Balter, Missy Mazzoli, Darian Donovan Thomas, Sarah Kirkland Snider, Scott Wollschleger, Mary Prescott, Timo Andres, and John Glover.
