Jazz Poetry 2026 at City of Asylum continues with Spanish pianist Marta Sánchez’s official album release concert

During periods of isolation and solitude, Marta composed her album, For the Space You Left. Shaped by two very different emotional landscapes, the music began in 2017 during a residency at MacDowell, where Marta applied with the intention of experimenting with piano preparation and confronting one of her long-standing fears: playing solo piano.

In addition to celebrating the release of Marta’s album, this Jazz Poetry performance will feature collaborative, experimental performances with four City of Asylum Exiled Writers-in-Residence.

About the Artist:

Born and raised in Madrid, Spain, pianist and composer Marta Sánchez is actively working in the contemporary creative music scene in New York City and around the globe.
