Michel Camilo is a chart-topping Grammy, Emmy, and three-time Latin Grammy award winning pianist, composer, and producer. By the time he was 16 years old, Camilo was playing with the National Symphony Orchestra of the Dominican Republic. After moving to New York in 1979, his song "Why Not?" became a hit for the Manhattan Transfer and caught on as a standard, and "Caribe" entered the repertoire of Dizzy Gillespie.

Together these powerhouse pianists will tear the roof off Lehman Center.
