Join us this week for not one, but two performances by acclaimed pianist Cory Smythe! 🎹 Both events are free and open to the public.

Praised by The Wire for his “perplexingly perfect” music, Smythe is known for creating performances that seamlessly blend composition and improvisation with extraordinary precision, creativity, and spontaneity.

These performances arrive at a fitting moment, coinciding with Cornell Unplugged, a campus-wide initiative that encourages the community to step away from phones, computers, and televisions and reconnect with people, ideas, and shared experiences.

We hope you'll take this opportunity to unplug, be present, and enjoy the inspiring artistry of Cory Smythe's performances. 🎶

“I chose Cornell because I wanted to explore a lot of different classes and potential majors. Cornell’s multitude of colleges also allows me to meet so many cool people, that I might not have met if I was only concentrated on a specific major/field.”
