Internationally acclaimed pianist, composer, and humanitarian Keiko Matsui brings her signature blend of beauty, power, and global connection to City Winery on May 5, 2026. With a career spanning more than three decades, Matsui has collaborated with legends including Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder, Bob James, Hugh Masekela, and Lalah Hathaway, and has become one of contemporary jazz’s most beloved and influential voices. Her music transcends borders, blending rich harmonies, global rhythms, and deeply emotional storytelling that connects audiences around the world.
Matsui’s recent work, including her landmark 30th recording Euphoria, reflects her lifelong mission to inspire unity, hope, and compassion through music. Known for her commanding yet graceful presence at the piano, she creates performances that feel both intimate and expansive celebrating resilience, love, and the shared human experience. Her artistry is matched by her humanitarian spirit, having supported causes such as Susan G. Komen, the United Nations World Food Programme, and numerous global charities throughout her career.
A trailblazer in contemporary jazz and the first Japanese artist to top Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz chart, Keiko Matsui continues to leave an indelible mark on the genre. Her live performances are immersive, uplifting journeys inviting listeners to pause, reflect, and feel deeply. This special evening at City Winery promises a powerful and inspiring night of music led by one of jazz’s most visionary artists.

conversation about his book Shame-Sex Attraction, to discuss the harmful
 effects of conversion therapy, and to learn how to be better informed 
and supportive of LGBT+ individuals.&nbsp;
This will be a timely discussion, because as of&nbsp;March
 31, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court [8-1] overturned Colorado's 2019 law 
banning conversion therapy for minors, ruling it violated counselors' 
First Amendment free speech rights.&nbsp;
So join us for this important evening of learning, dialogue, and solidarity.
