Jeremy Siskind

Pianist-composer JEREMY SISKIND is a genuine visionary (Indianapolis Star) who seems to defy all boundaries (JazzInk) with music rich in texture and nuance (Downbeat). A top finisher in several national and international jazz piano competitions, Siskind is a two-time laureate of the American Pianists Association and the winner of the Nottingham International Jazz Piano Competition. Since making his professional debut juxtaposing Debussy's Etudes with jazz standards at Carnegie Hall's Weill Hall, Siskind has established himself as one of the nation's most innovative and virtuosic modern pianists. Siskind's multifaceted career often finds him combining musical styles and breaking aesthetic norms. As the leader of The Housewarming Project, Siskind has not only created a shining example of chamber jazz (Downbeat) whose albums often land on critics' best of the year lists. He's also established himself as a pioneer of the in-home concert movement by presenting well over 100 in-home concerts in 26 states. In 2020, the Housewarming Project was a winner of a $30,000 grant from Chamber Music America's New Jazz Works program (supported by the Doris Duke Foundation
