The Happy Hour Piano Series: Michael Ford

Michael Ford’s music blends elements of classical, jazz, experimental, and soundtrack into a genre he calls “third stream.” Over his career, Michael has produced music for television, theater, and dance and released four albums, including Dream of the Wind and Simple Truth, both nominated for best contemporary classical album by the Independent Music Awards. Michael has also collaborated with the late Grammy-winning cellist David Darling.

You may also recognize Michael’s work with author and illustrator Sandra Boynton. They’ve co-created six children’s book/CDs, including the platinum-certified Philadelphia Chickens. Michael Ford continues to establish himself as a world-class pianist and composer.

Tickets: $8 (advance)/$8 (door)

Held in AMP’s expansive mural gallery, this distinctive event combines music with visual art in a vibrant, artistic atmosphere.

The centerpiece of the gallery is the monumental indoor mural—120 feet long and five stories high—that celebrates American workers and the spirit of collaboration. With three tiers of space for mingling, viewing, and listening, the experience is immersive and inspiring.

The Happy Hour Piano Series continues every fourth Friday, showcasing a variety of talented regional pianists and musical genres.


The Happy Hour Piano Series is supported in part by the Greenberg family.
