About me
Adrian Banner (piano) was born in Sydney, Australia, where his passion for the piano began in early childhood. He emigrated to the USA where he co-founded The Klez Dispensers, received his Ph.D. in mathematics from Princeton University, and published a book on calculus. Adrian is a performer, composer, bandleader, and arranger in a wide variety of musical styles including klezmer, Yiddish theatre/song, classical, jazz, ska, ragtime, and liturgical music. He has been on the faculty of KlezKamp and KlezKanada, and for several years has performed at Yiddish New York, including DROM, the Tanzhoysn, and the Molly Picon concert. Together with Amy Zakar, Adrian led an online jam session last year and is looking forward to more freylekh jams this year!
