ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES CONRAD TAO has appeared worldwide as a pianist and composer. Born in Urbana, Illinois, in 1994, Tao has performed as soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, Cleveland Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, and Boston Symphony. As a composer, his work has been performed by orchestras throughout the world; his first large scale orchestral work, Everything Must Go, received its world premiere with the New York Philharmonic, and its European premiere with the Antwerp Symphony. He was the recipient of a New York Dance and Performance “Bessie” Award for Outstanding Sound Design/ Music Composition, for his work on More Forever, in collaboration with dancer and choreographer Caleb Teicher. He is also the recipient of the Avery Fisher Career Grant and was named a Gilmore Young Artist.
CALEB TEICHER is widely regarded as a leading performer, choreographer, director, musical collaborator, and curator of musically-driven dance and interdisciplinary collaboration. A two-time Bessie Award winner (and five-time nominee), their work in concert dance and music has played some of the most prestigious venues in North America, including Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, New York City Center, Carnegie Hall, the Joyce Theater, and countless others. They’ve performed duets with Regina Spektor and Ben Folds on Broadway, television, and on music albums. They’ve graced the cover of Dance Magazine, and they’re the only dancer to be featured on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series. Many shows created by Caleb (SW!NG OUT, Counterpoint, Caleb Teicher & Nic Gareiss, B-Z-Z-Z) regularly tour performing arts centers in North America — their work will be presented in over twenty cities this year.
