Anat Cohen

Ever charismatic, prolific, and inspired, Grammy-nominated clarinetist-saxophonist Anat Cohen has won hearts and minds the world over with her expressive virtuosity and delightful stage presence. As The Wall Street Journal says, “What’s not to love about a young clarinetist and saxophonist who plays everything we love – modern jazz, world music, “hot” New Orleans style jazz – and does it all brilliantly?” Cohen’s most recent release, “Quartetinho”, an ensemble featuring international multi-instrumentalist-virtuosos all drawn from the ranks of her GRAMMY-nominated Tentet – pianist/accordionist Vitor Gonçalves, bassist/guitarist Tal Mashiach, and vibraphonist/percussionist James Shipp. The perennial winner of “Clarinetist of the Year” titles from DownBeat, JazzTimes, and the Jazz Journalists Association, Fresh Air’s Terry Gross credits Cohen with “bringing the clarinet to the world” and The New York Times hails her a “Master.”

This event is presented in partnership with Sounds in the Sanctuary.
