ROBERT GLASPER
Robert Glasper, the Grammy-winning jazz pianist, composer, and producer, brings his boundary-crossing musicianship to the Birchmere Music Hall on Tuesday, August 25, 2026. With five Grammy wins and fifteen nominations, an Emmy for his work on Ava DuVernay's documentary *13th*, and a Peabody Award, Glasper has redefined modern jazz by fusing it with hip-hop, R&B, and electronic music. His groundbreaking *Black Radio* series, collaborations with artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Erykah Badu, Common, and Jill Scott, and projects including August Greene and R+R=Now showcase his ability to move seamlessly between acoustic jazz and genre-blurring innovation. This performance promises a dynamic evening that reflects his ceaseless evolution as a bandleader and sonic pioneer.
