2018 Outstanding Instrumentalists

Hailed as “virtuosos on clarinet and saxophone” by The New York Times, identical-twin Juilliard graduates and Washington, DC, natives Peter and Will Anderson have headlined at Carnegie Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, Birdland Jazz Club, and live on Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion radio program. They can be seen and heard in films and television series, including Revolutionary Road, Killers of the Flower Moon, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and on the Grammy-winning soundtrack of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire with Vince Giordano’s Nighthawks. Peter and Will received a 2014 Drama Desk nomination for their Off-Broadway Production Le Jazz Hot (one of eight sold-out productions at 59E59 Theaters) and were 2018 Bistro Award winners. Last year, the Andersons raised $25,000 to establish the Joe Temperley Juilliard Student Scholarship Fund and create a tribute album in honor of their late, great saxophone mentor. PeterAndWillAnderson.com
