Noah Hoffeld
Noah Hoffeld

A great lineup of talent has been assembled for Artists Without Walls’ July Showcase at The Cell Theatre beginning with cellist Noah Hoffeld.  The soulful maturity of Noah’s new album Play Human belies the fact that Noah comes from a life in Classical Music. But playing Classical was never everything to Noah. Before graduating from Juilliard, he began pushing the limits by improvising, bringing rock and pop to the cello, and asking questions that would push his career beyond the ordinary. Cellist Noah has played for the likes of Renee Fleming, Philip Glass, Bebel Gilberto, and Brad Mehldau and records solos for films and television such as The Skeleton Twins (starring Kristin Wiig and Bill Hader), and Showtime’s Happyish. Noah will be singing a few songs from his new album and accompanying himself on piano and cello.

    I joined AWOW in March. Due to a foot injury I have been unable to attend since. I would like to attend tomorrow; however, since the foot is not fully healed taking public transportation in is not an option. If anyone lives in Jersey (especially in the Bayonne area) and is attending- would you be willing to drive me in? If not, to everyone- Enjoy the evening.
