New York based, Berkeley-raised pianist Ethan Ostrow returns to California for a unique solo piano set of original music, fresh takes on jazz standards, and music that bends the confines of genres altogether.
Having led a double-life as an actor for many years, Ethan understands the power of storytelling, and brings it to his music in every performance. He strives for an intense, lush sound, and demonstrates deep personal expression. Ethan has had the opportunity to headline and perform at some of the Bay Area’s finest venues, including Yoshi’s, The UC Theater, The Fox Theater, The Freight & Salvage and more.
Ethan frequently combines his love of music with his passion for cancer charity work, and is proud to have raised over $45,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society through his "Concert for a Cure" series.
Ethan will soon be releasing his upcoming album, The Path of Obscurity, a suite that explores elements of trauma and how it affects us. This piece is written for jazz band, strings, and a narrator performing spoken word.
