From Carnegie Hall to the Purple Onion, he has performed  solo piano concerts of original music throughout the United States in  addition to festival appearances in Canada, Europe, and South Africa.

This free concert in Santa Ana will be Sunday, September 27, 2009, at 7:00 pm, with a festive Champagne reception afterward in the Parish  Hall.

“Karush draws together such disparate elements as bluegrass banjo,  stride, tinges of Erik Satie, boogie-woogie, country and the blues.  But his own vision—one of the most fascinating in current jazz—remains constant.” Don Heckman, Los Angeles Times.  Click here to hear a sample of Karush’ music.
