***REVIEWS of OTHELLO***
Premier of Dwight Rhoden's "OTHELLO" with music composed by David Rozenblatt:
THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER
"There is electric energy from the start as the pulsing original score, by David Rozenblatt, communicates the essence of a rock concert and its afterparties....“Othello” has impeccable dancing, innovative music and eye-popping costumes. Beware the green-eyed monster,but go see its effects in this fiery and vibrant production"
CLASSICAL OBSERVER OF NORTH CAROLINA
"The work is set to a highly textured commissioned score by composer David Rozenblatt, with whom Rhoden has worked before. If it must be categorized, you could call it jazz, but it contains all the peculiar variety and rich strangeness of music in a dream... This music feels inseparable from the hard-edged, super-stylish sets and lighting by Michael Korsch and the brilliant, glittering, barely-there costuming by Christine Darch. Visually and aurally, this is a world complete"

***RED CARPET GRAMMY MENTION***
Barry Manilow's In The Swing of Christmas recieves a GRAMMY NOM featuring "The Matt Herskowitz Trio"

Hi Everyone and welcome!

These past few years have been very exciting! Playing for Barack Obama, performing and recording with Joe Zawinul, Judy Collins, Paquito D’Rivera, Lew Soloff, Harvie S, Adam Holzman, Reba McEntire, Bobby Womack, Paul Shaffer and the David Letterman Band, The Killers, Darlene Love, recording some very successful CDs with Barry Manilow (one of which recieved the 2009 Grammy nomination for 'Best Traditional Pop Album' featuring The Matt Herskowitz Trio, landing a professorship at Hofstra University, debuting his ballet 'THREE POINT TURN' in the US and Russia with prima ballerina Diana Vishneva, Desmond Richardson and members of the Kirov Ballet, premiering his ballet 'OTHELLO" with the North Carolina Dance Theater and getting a 2 Week run of his latest modern ballet entitled "Dirty Wire" with Complexions at the Joyce Theater in New York, being praised by The LA Times and The Charlotte Observer and ripped apart by the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post were some of the major highlights.

Still going strong with Barry Manilow, the "Matt Herskowitz Trio", Sound Liberation, Dagmar and his recording studio "Absolute Studios". David recently joined another great trio Erbium, which performs all over New York City, with the wonderful electric keyboardist Dan Pelkowski and the amazing 7 string electric bassist, flutist and composer Dan Cooper.

For the Herskowitz Trio the Montreal Jazz Festival was absolutely incredible. Charles Papasoff and Coral Egan joined the trio and they played to a sold out Gesù - Centre De Créativité.  The Matt Herskowitz Trio's latest program entitled “MaD Gershwin” was received by a very enthusiastic audience! You can check out some of their music on www.mattherskowitz.com.

OTHELLO and DIRTY WIRE: David has once again joined forces with Coplexions co-founder Dwight Rhoden and composed a new ballet of Shakespeare’s Othello for the North Carolina Dance Theater which premiered to great reviews! His latest "DIRTY WIRE" which had a 2 week run at the Joyce Theater in New York City is touring all over Europe and Asia.

At his recording studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, David is recording and producing a double CD set of 25 new songs with Dagmar and Weimarband, recording Gene Pritsker’s opera “Money”, recording a new Erbium CD and a new CD of all original music with the Matt Herskowitz Trio.
