Elliott Skinner live in New York

Experience Elliott Skinner live on June 17th

Elliott Skinner will perform at National Sawdust in Brooklyn, New York on June 17, 2026. Skinner is a composer and performer whose work frequently blends elements of jazz harmony, contemporary classical music, and improvisation. His compositions often feature complex rhythmic structures and extended techniques for his primary instrument, the piano, alongside incorporating vocals and electronic processing. He’s known for creating immersive sonic environments and exploring themes of memory and perception within his pieces.

National Sawdust is an independent venue dedicated to supporting artists who are pushing boundaries across multiple disciplines. Opened in 2015, it was founded by composer Paola Prestini with the intention of providing a space specifically designed for adventurous and experimental performances. The building itself was formerly a sawdust factory – hence the name – and has been meticulously renovated to offer exceptional acoustics. It’s recognized for its commitment to new music, opera-theater, dance, film, and visual arts presentations. National Sawdust distinguishes itself from many performance spaces through its focus on artist residencies and commissioning new work alongside presenting established projects. It operates as a non-profit organization focused on artistic development rather than commercial viability.
