"With this quartet Taller is starting a new category of performances that is justly called "Future Classics". In the same way that many "Famous Unknowns" have used our auditorium as a musical laboratory, there is a tradition of virtuoso young musicians making their Broadway premiere here. Aleksi and Keenan are known figures to Taller's music fans. Keenan used to study Spanish here, his impromptu piano concerts were the highlight of those classes. Aleksi is the son of Mike Glick, a blues and folk musician, who was one of Taller's first performers and is currently one of the most respected music teachers of New York. In the last couple of years Aleksi has accompanied his father in his musical presentations and at the beginning of 2007 Aleksi presented his own music with a group called "Work In Progress". There was such an overwhelming response from the audience that we were forced to schedule another concert. 

I encourage music lovers to check this quartet out. It is an honor to present them." (Bernardo Palombo, Artistic Director)
