MATI Festival and Conference

2022 MATI festival alumnus is returning to St. Louis this weekend for four shows at Kranzberg Arts Foundation’s Midtown neighbor, (3730 Foundry Way).

Robert Glasper is a genre-defying pianist, producer, and composer celebrated for blending jazz, R&B, and hip-hop in groundbreaking ways. With a rich catalog that includes iconic albums like Black Radio and its sequels, Glasper has redefined contemporary jazz. In 2024 & 2025, he released four new albums — Let Go, Code Derivation, Keys to the City: Volume 1, and a holiday album, In December—continuing his streak of innovative music. Beyond the stage, his vast contributions to film scoring, including films The Photograph, Luther: Never Too Much and Miles Ahead, and Emmy-nominated series Winning Time, demonstrate his versatility as a musician. A five-time Grammy award winner with an additional 15 nominations and an Emmy and Peabody Award winner, Glasper’s accolades underscore his impact on modern music, cementing his legacy as a boundary-pushing artist and cultural icon.

Glasper performs this Saturday, May 30 and Sunday, May 31 at City Winery. Four shows.
