WHAT’S NEW WITH MAX POLLAK
Bayerische Staatsoper
I'm so excited to announce this performance. On January 13th, 2027, I will perform a special chamber music concert with OPERcussion, the six percussionists of the Bavarian State Orchestra. More details coming soon…
VIIS ALBUM RELEASE
My second album entitled “ViiS” will drop this summer. This is very exciting for me, since the show I created with this music happened 20 years ago, and the recording has been waiting to see the light of day!
BIRDLAND
On July 27th, the Max Pollak Group will be performing at the legendary Birdland Jazz Club in Manhattan. I’m so thrilled to bring my work and my group to this important music venue. It means a lot to see my creations in such a historical place in New York City. If you’re in NYC in July, come say hi!
