After his father's unexpected death, Tendler used his complete inheritance, an envelope full of cash received in a parking lot, to commission a broad spectrum of today's most sought after composers - also his friends - to compose piano works exploring the theme of 'inheritance' itself. Woven into a single intimate program of 'little masterpieces' (New York Times), each reflecting a 'melancholy beauty beyond conventions' (Pioneer Press), this 'wildly unexpected' (Star Tribune) program tells a universal story of lineage, loss, and place, and has moved audiences internationally. Garnering national media attention since its premiere, Inheritances has become a powerful meditation on confronting our past, and a catalyst for countless listeners to move forward.
