On Friday, October 9, New School faculty members Junior Vance, Joan Stiles, and Armen Donelian and New School Jazz alumnus, Peter Bernstein, joined a line-up of illustrious pianists at the Monk at 92 Marathon held at the Winter Garden in the World Financial Center. This historic mini-marathon was part of an annual series that counts down to Thelonious Monk’s 100th birthday.

Every October until the centennial of Monk’s birth, pianists will gather to honor his contributions to American music.
