Eric Hirsh is a jazz pianist, composer, and bandleader who focuses on cross-genre and interdisciplinary collaboration as a catalyst for bringing out the best in artists so that they in turn might more deeply inspire their audiences.

Hirsh performs regularly in the Triangle as a member of jazz/hip hop quartet The Beast and as the director of thirteen-piece salsa band Orquesta GarDel. He is the pianist and arranger for singer/cellist Shana Tucker, and is also a member of New Music Raleigh, a contemporary classical collective that showcases works by living composers.

Hirsh is a 2012 recipient of the North Carolina Arts Council Composer Fellowship, a 2014 Fellow at Ravinia Festival’s Steans Music Institute, a 2009 participant of the Betty Carter’s Jazz Ahead program at the Kennedy Center, and a four-time winner of the ASCAP Foundation Young Jazz Composers Awards.
