Jordan Nylander, piano

Jordan Nylander performs passionate and professional piano recitals inspired by nature, deeply rooted in classical traditions. Hailed as “heartfelt and moving” (Columbia River Reader), he brings new music and hidden gems to the surface in the creative collection of programming. Classical music enthusiasts and those who are new to the art form will appreciate the depths of emotion communicated through his playing. The music speaks, moves, and quite possibly changes lives, one piece at a time.

The recital includes Chopin’s epic Ballade No. 1 in G minor Op. 23 along with other works by Chopin. Also on the program are originals inspired by Pacific Northwest locations. One original, The Astoria Bridge, captures the ascent and descent of one of the largest bridges in the world. Audiences have been mesmerized by the skill, originality, and expression. Free admission. Augustana Lutheran Church in Northeast Portland.
