David Braid

I’ll be giving a jazz masterclass in Ottawa at Carleton University from 12-2pm on February 5th. It is open to the public. Details in the link: carleton.ca/music/event/wo…

Arranged by David Braid and performed in Ankara in February 2025 with Yağızcan Keskin (clarinet), Doğukan Keskin (violin), Serkan Alagök (bassoon), and David Braid (piano). Celebrating melodic contours and asymmetrical grace of works by Selim El Helou and Zad Moultaka.

"Pale Crescent" is a rhythmic chamber piece based on the Turkish melody "Zeynebim". I premiered the work live on Turkish National Radio 3 performing alongside Yağızcan Keskin (clarinet), Doğukan Keskin (violin), and Serkan Alagök (bassoon). Thanks to host, @HafizeOkan

@David_Braid Beautiful!

"Wash Away" finds its inspiration within the unexpected intersection of Frédéric Chopin’s harmonic elegance and Ray Charles’ rhythmic and soulful depths. Featuring: Yağızcan Keskin (Clarinet), Doğukan Keskin (Violin), Serkan Alagök (Bassoon), and David Braid (Piano, Composer)

Calgary: Solo benefit concert 7:30 tonight (22 November) at the Polaris Theatre for the Airdrie Rotary Music Festival. I'll be performing music from my solo piano album, Verge, a 2012 Juno winner. Tickets available at polariscentre.ca

Наурыз құтты болсын! Наурыз кут болсун! Наврӯз муборак! This Nauyrz, I tried to learn the melody ‘kui’ from Aigerim Myrzakhmet of Dombra Academy. Regardez ce qu'on a réussi après ma première heure avec une dombra. Ол айтпақшы, “нағыз қазақ қазақ емес, нағыз қазақ домбыра”.
