Creativity: Where Does It Come From: A Lecture-Recital with Hank Hehmsoth
Join jazz pianist, composer, and visual artist Hank Hehmsoth for a lively and engaging lecture-recital exploring the source of creativity, not as mystery or myth, but as something rooted in memory, experience, and daily life. Through live piano performance, storytelling, and projected artwork, Hank shares insights drawn from decades as a performer, educator, and scholar of jazz history. Along the way, he reflects on lessons learned from legendary musicians, the role of curiosity in lifelong growth, and how creativity continues to evolve at every stage of life. This is not a technical music lecture. It is an invitation to rediscover the creative impulse we all carry, whether through music, art, writing, conversation, or simply seeing the world with fresh attention.
