Ostrow jumps back into action Monday at Berkeley’s Freight & Salvage when his trio anchors “Hat’s Off: A Benefit Concert for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.” His group features two fellow Berkeley High Jazz Ensemble alumni from the class of 2016: drummer Matt Stoloff, who’s on summer break from Oberlin Conservatory, and bassist Max Schwartz, who’s spending a gap year working with bluegrass icon Laurie Lewis before starting the University of Miami’s music program in the fall.

“We’re going to play a really wide variety of music that reflects my being an actor and musical theater performer as well as a jazz pianist,” Ostrow says, “We’ll do some Stevie Wonder, two or three arrangements of Stephen Sondheim and Duncan Sheik, and I’ve written some music, too, We’re also going to have a lot of special guests join us.”, Fighting cancer at 18 meant more than confronting his mortality, Ostrow spent four years juggling two creative pursuits, jazz band grishko demi pointe shoes and theater, notorious for sucking up all available time, He admits it made for a crazy schedule “but I sort of appreciate having an overwhelming number of things to do,” he says, “It never feels boring.”..

When his freight train lifestyle suddenly jumped the tracks, Ostrow found himself with down time he couldn’t fill up with creative activities. He still harbors an array of ambitions, but staring into the abyss has prompted a good deal of soul searching and reordering of priorities. He’s had no shortage of support from friends and family, but stepping away from the communal pursuits of music and theater meant he was “doing a lot of emotional work alone, which is new and interesting,” he says. “It’s not like I really wanted to be confronting these issues in my psyche at this age, but it’s just another challenge I’m trying to work through. I think it’ll be really rewarding in the end.”.

In addition to preparing for Monday’s benefit concert, Ostrow is serving as assistant director for YMCT’s upcoming production of Frank Loesser’s ambitiously grishko demi pointe shoes operatic musical “The Most Happy Fella” (which runs July 21 – 30 at the El Cerrito High School Performing Arts Theater, ymtcbayarea.org). The apprenticeship continues his long and creatively fecund relationship with conductor and music director David Moschler, who’s directed about a dozen YMCT shows in which Ostrow has been cast..

Moschler notes that in a field known for attracting big, attention-seeking personalities Ostrow has always stood out with his equanimity and self-possession. They had worked together for several years before Moschler discovered that Ostrow is a gifted jazz pianist. “He’s just one of those guys who doesn’t take up a lot of space or energy in the room,” Moschler says. “I love that about him. Even when he’s been deathly ill, I’ve never heard him mention it once, except for fundraiser. He always makes me feel like I should strive to be an even better person. I’m sure to him it must feel he’s got a new lease on life, but he comes across as the same awesome, excited guy.”.

After “The Most Happy Fella,” Ostrow plans to take August off to travel and see theater, then return to Minneapolis to restart college, He knows he made quite an impression, and that he’s returning with a very different mindset than he arrived with last year, “All that everyone knows is that I got a lead role and then got a very sick,” he says, “I feel like a lot less driven than I grishko demi pointe shoes did in the past, It feels like there’s more to life than this goal of getting through college.”, Contact Andrew Gilbert at jazzscribe@aol.com..

Last June, SFDanceworks made a gigantic splash with its inaugural season, playing to capacity houses and adding an extra show to meet demand. For the upcoming Season 2 — which offers a broad lineup of vintage and contemporary works that should satisfy any dance enthusiast — the opening-night performance was sold out two weeks ahead. Artistic director James Sofranko (also a soloist with San Francisco Ballet) says, “I want to show the past, present and future of dance, not just classical ballet or modern. I want to have some masterworks that come from the past generation, as well as choreographers working today who are their prime, and pieces created today by emerging artists — which is the future. I never got to dance anything by British choreographer Christopher Bruce, and he has had a distinguished career for a long time.  I contacted him directly, and he actually suggested “Shadows.” It’s newer, but it has his signature style stamped on it.”.

“Shadows” will have its U.S, premiere June 22-24,  Created in 2014 for Phoenix Dance Theatre of Leeds, England, the quartet for two women and two men is set to Arvo Pärt’s “Fratres” for violin and piano, In his email grishko demi pointe shoes responses to my questions, Bruce wrote “… To me, many of Pärt’s compositions evoke images of a European history and tradition steeped in over 1,000 years of human experience and, frequently, suffering, These themes, and particularly the turbulence of 20-century events, have influenced my reaction to ‘Fratres.’..
