“I am at home on the piano,” said Batiste. “STREAMS is a stream-of-consciousness music that comes to me in the moment without rehearsal or preparation. Playing piano for me is like breathing. It’s prayer, it’s dreaming, it’s conversation. I want to be in the conversation with the audience and share this intimate creative space. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience each time, a spontaneous flow state, completely improvised.”

Tickets are available online at www.HersheyEntertainment.com and www.Ticketmaster.com.

Batiste received a Grammy Award, Golden Globe, Academy Award, and a BAFTA for co-composing the music for the Pixar film “Soul” and was the band leader for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Other stops on the trip include Syracuse, Buffalo, and Hackensack.
