Memories of the Titanic at the Grohmann Museum
Piano Portraits concert series continues with the music of Jeffrey Hollander
Commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic with music and stories from the Titanic era at the Grohmann Museum, 1000 N. Broadway. The museum’s popular concert series, “Piano Portraits: The music of Jeffery Hollander,” continues and guests are invited to hear Dr. Jeffrey Hollander create a living concert. The Piano Portraits concert series was created specifically for the Grohmann Museum, and takes thematic inspiration from the museum’s exhibitions. Each concert includes a short tour of the current museum exhibition.
Inspired by classical compositions, popular tunes and jazz improvisations, Hollander weaves a series of fantasies touching on sentiment, brilliance, humor and deep pathos. He shares interesting anecdotes about the composers and requests themes from the audience for improvisation at the conclusion.

At the age of seven, Hollander was the youngest scholarship winner at the prestigious Eastman School of Music. He received a doctorate in piano performance from legendary Hungarian concert pianist György Sandor. He often appears in the beautiful lobby of the majestic Pfister Hotel in downtown Milwaukee, and his CD, “Nice Work if You Can Get It,” was created there. Hollander’s stunning concerts have thrilled audiences in America and Europe. He has appeared as soloist with the Milwaukee and Chicago Symphonies.
