During the last several weeks, I was on tour playing at Moritzburg Festival in Germany as well as a solo concert in Vilnius, Lithuania. Concerts at Moritzburg Festival included a trio performance, a solo piano performance, and a string quintet performance. Here are some photos (courtesy of photographer Oliver Killig) from the recent performance that took place at Volkswagen Phaeton Manufacturing Factory on August 11, 2012:

The duo tour with Pat Martino on the West Coast was a blast.  He's a great musician, wonderful human being, and he plays so much guitar. Very inspiring.  Also, just played a great gig at the Berks Jazz Festival as a double bill with Anat Cohen quartet, who sounded fantastic.  It was my first time playing in Reading, PA at Berks Jazz Festival, and the crowd was enthusiastic.  I want to thank all the fans for coming out to that concert!  

An awesome review came out in the Reading Eagle entitled "Eldar dazzles in Jazz Fest debut."
