Matthew Zachary: LIVE At Merkin Hall

Matthew Zachary Live at Merkin Hall is a one night only live benefit concert that blends solo piano performance, storytelling, and lived experience. The evening marks 30 years after Matthew Zachary’s original brain cancer diagnosis and serves as the official launch of his debut book, We The Patients.

Through original solo piano music, chapter readings, and special guest voices, the program explores what survival actually looks like over time. It honors resilience without sentimentality and community without spectacle. This is not a gala or a lecture. It is a live cultural moment for people who believe art, honesty, and shared experience still have the power to move a room.
