Virillon Music recording artist Marc Hoffman returns to Founder's Hall on Friday, August 12, when he performs during the Friday Acoustic Concert Series from noon to 2 p.m.
Hoffman, a composer, pianist and vocalist, has been performing at Founder's Hall since 2004. Along with original jazz compositions, both instrumental and vocal, his upcoming solo performance will include his own arrangements of standards, ballads and pop tunes.
Gary Dalkin, editor of Film Music on the Web, has described Hoffman's original music as “somewhere between the contemporary approach of Windham Hill with a nod in the direction of Aaron Copland...Marc Hoffman may just be too talented for his own good. Hoffman's gifts range from contemporary classical and film composer to jazz singer-songwriter."
In 2010, Hoffman released his all-original CD “Curioso" to critical acclaim. Previous CDs include “Christmas Time" (2006), a jazz-flavored CD with new tunes and new arrangements of traditional music; “Long Way Home" (2003), He is currently recording two new CDs, one instrumental and one vocal with his trio.
Hoffman's upcoming solo show is free and open to the public. Founder's Hall is located at 100 North Tryon Street, Charlotte, NC 28255, at the Bank of America Corporate Center.
