On Saturday, March 14, 2026 at 6:30 PM, the incomparable Randy Edelman returns to New York for what promises to be one of the most elegant and emotionally charged evenings of the season — live at the Aman Jazz Club NY.
Set within the refined, intimate atmosphere of the Aman, this is not merely a concert. It is a journey through the melodies that have shaped generations.

Edelman, whose soaring scores and timeless songs have underscored some of cinema’s most beloved films — from The Last of the Mohicans to My Cousin Vinny, Gettysburg, and The Mask — brings his music back to its most personal form: one man, one piano, and a lifetime of stories woven between the notes.
The visual of Edelman seated at the grand piano, bathed in warm stage light, evokes the very heart of his artistry. It is here that themes are reborn — cinematic anthems distilled into intimate expressions. Audiences don’t just hear the music; they feel the decades of passion, discipline, and soul behind every chord.
The March 14th performance promises a curated medley of his iconic film themes, award-winning originals like “21 Again,” and perhaps a few unexpected surprises. For those who have experienced his Carnegie Hall triumphs and sold-out performances, this setting offers something even more rare — closeness. The kind where the piano breathes and the audience listens.

An evening at Aman Jazz Club is about nuance, elegance, and connection. And there is perhaps no composer better suited to that atmosphere than Randy Edelman — a Golden Globe-nominated songwriter whose work bridges Hollywood grandeur with heartfelt vulnerability.
Reservations are essential.

(New York, NY) — Renowned composer, pianist, and musical storyteller
Randy Edelman will return to Carnegie Hall on December 19, 2025, marking
his second headline performance at the world-famous venue. Following his
celebrated and critically praised appearance at Lincoln Center this past June,
Edelman now brings his cinematic mastery, signature sound, and holiday
spirit back to one of the most prestigious stages on the planet.

before the holidays—an evening designed to uplift, inspire, and ignite the
imagination.

Earlier this year, in June, Edelman took the stage at Lincoln Center, where he
delivered a dynamic, career-spanning concert that reaffirmed his status as one
of America’s most treasured melodic architects. The performance was hailed
for its majesty, humor, and heartfelt tributes, capturing the full scope of
Edelman’s influences and achievements.

Now, as he prepares to once again grace Carnegie Hall, Edelman promises a
performance that is both intimate and grand—a rare fusion only he can
deliver. The evening will include unforgettable film themes, beloved original
songs, new arrangements crafted exclusively for this concert, and special
moments that celebrate his profound relationship with New York City and its
audiences.

“There is nothing quite like playing Carnegie Hall,” Edelman has shared.
“The room itself sings back to you. It becomes part of the story.”

Tickets for Randy Edelman at Carnegie Hall — December 19, 2025 are
