Bill Charlap live in Woodstock

Experience Bill Charlap live on September 5th

Bill Charlap will perform at Maverick Concerts Inc. in Woodstock, New York on September 5, 2026. Charlap is a pianist and composer recognized for his deeply rooted approach to the American popular songbook and jazz traditions. His style blends sophisticated harmonic understanding with a lyrical sensibility, often drawing inspiration from classic composers like George Gershwin and Cole Porter, while maintaining a strong improvisational element. He frequently performs and records with leading jazz vocalists and instrumentalists.

Maverick Concerts Inc. operates out of the Maverick, a unique stone concert hall constructed in 1916 by Hervey White as a venue for the Woodstock Artists Association. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is known for its exceptional acoustics and rustic setting within the Catskill Mountains. Originally intended as a multi-arts center, it quickly became primarily a music venue, hosting performances by prominent musicians throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. The space intentionally lacks amplification systems, relying on natural resonance; this characteristic shapes the experience of performances there. It remains dedicated to presenting chamber, jazz, and contemporary music programming.
