Experience Steven Bernstein live on June 30th

Steven Bernstein will perform at Solar Myth in Philadelphia on June 30, 2026. Bernstein is a New York-based trumpeter, composer, and arranger known for his eclectic musical style. His work frequently blends jazz, klezmer, blues, and elements of Broadway and avant-garde music. He’s recognized for leading several ensembles including the Hot 9 Orchestra and Spanish Fly, often reinterpreting music from diverse historical periods through a distinctly modern lens. Bernstein’s compositions often feature complex arrangements and improvisation, drawing on a wide range of influences.

Solar Myth is an independent venue in Philadelphia focused on experimental music and performance art. Opened in 2022 by musicians and artists Nick Milward and Moor Mother (Camae Ayewa), the space aims to provide a platform for artists working outside mainstream genres. Housed in a former industrial building in Kensington, Solar Myth emphasizes sound quality and intimate audience experiences. It has quickly become a notable hub for both local and touring acts specializing in noise, electronic music, free improvisation, and related forms; it also regularly hosts visual art exhibitions alongside its musical programming.
