Danish-American violinist Mads Tolling emphasizes the joys of performing in intimate settings, valuing audience attention and interest. He reflects on his past performances at the Piedmont Center for the Arts, noting the rewarding listening environment. Tolling, a Berklee College of Music graduate, is a two-time Grammy Award winner and member of various prestigious bands. He plans to present an eclectic program with special guest artists, showcasing a range of popular songs while blending classical, jazz, and folk styles in his unique performances.
Any performance is valuable because there's a live audience paying attention and listening to you. I know people aren't on their phones, distracted.
He's a two-time Grammy Award winner and nominee and has appeared with solo artists such as Chick Corea, Leo Kottke and many others.
Tolling will lead an eclectic program with special guest artists, presenting well-known songs such as Ain't Got Nothing but the Blues and I Got Rhythm.
He even likes smaller venues like house concerts with only 20 people, as the audience is there entirely to hear good music.
