    Dr. Jeffrey Hollander creates a living concert. Inspired by classical compositions, popular tunes and jazz improvisations, he 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. 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. I've Been Working on the Railroad, A celebration of railroad workers and the music a traveler might hear as the train moves through America and Europe, inspired by Edith Piaf, Django Reinhardt, Franz Liszt, Peter Tchaikovsky, Art Tatum, Nat King Cole and George Gershwin.
