    Mike Holober Pianist/Composer/Arranger/Conductor/Educator Trained as a classical pianist and conductor, Mike Holober began his apprenticeship as a jazz pianist and composer after moving to New York City in 1986. He has released 5 recordings as a leader and can be heard on over 70 recordings as a sideman. He has also served as a producer and conductor for several recordings. Mike’s projects include “Mike Holober & Balancing Act,” an octet with voice, “The Gotham Jazz Orchestra,” and “The Mike Holober Quintet.” He also regularly performs in duo settings with artists such as trumpeter Marvin Stamm and tenor saxophonist Jason Rigby. Mike was a 2017-18 recipient of a Chamber Music America New Jazz Works Grant for “Mike Holober & Balancing Act,” whose eponymous premiere recording was released on Palmetto Records in 2015. The recording received a 4-star review from Downbeat Magazine and appeared on many best-of lists for 2015. Balancing Act features Kate McGarry, Dick Oatts, Jason Rigby, Marvin Stamm, Mark Patterson, John Hebert, and Brian Blade. Mike’s Chamber Music America commission, titled Don’t Let Go, was premiered at Symphony Space (the Leonard Nimoy Thalia) in June 2018, and is structured as a song- cycle in the tradition of Robert Schumann, Samuel Barber, and Ralph Vaughn-Williams. Don’t Let Go explores the nuances and complexities of the concept of hope in the context of current social, political, and environmental realities. After a busy period of writing and arranging for some of the world’s most renowned large ensembles, Mike has returned to the helm of his own stellar big band with the release of Mike Holober & The Gotham Jazz Orchestra: Hiding Out.
