Denver Jazz Fest Presents: Elew Plays Strings

“ . . . powerful and passionate . . . dazzling.” —Downbeat

One-of-a-kind piano virtuoso Elew presents his acclaimed show, “Elew Plays Sting,” in the intimate setting of Classic Pianos. This stunning program will be entirely on acoustic grand piano, and will showcase his formidable technique and blazing musical intelligence as he reinterprets the timeless songs of Sting. Known for his self-titled approach called Rockjazz, 

Elew was recently tapped by Sting himself to open for him on a major North American tour. Before his crossover success, the pianist built a towering reputation in the jazz world, performing and recording with giants like Wynton Marsalis, Christian McBride, Roy Hargrove, Elvin Jones, Cassandra Wilson, and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Elew draws on this rich history, channeling the harmonic sophistication of jazz into Sting’s repertoire to create an unforgettable, thrilling, and deeply personal solo performance. Don’t miss this chance to hear a rising star put his stamp on two genres in one night.
