Grammy nominated pianist David Lanz brings a weekend of entertainment and music education to the Puget Sound area as he performs in concert Saturday May 6 at the Shoreline Community College Theatre and presents a student-oriented piano workshop at Washburn Piano in Bellevue Sunday, May 7.
Seattle native Lanz will be back in his hometown in support of his latest release, “Spirit Romance” on the Narada label. Lanz’s signature romantic melodies are backed by renowned Native American flutist Gary Stroutsos on the Chinese Xiao flute, as well as Keith Lowe, Swil Kanim and Michael Lanz.
A pioneer of the new age musical movement since the early 1980’s, Lanz’s career includes more than 20 recordings, numerous compilations, a platinum recording of “East of the Moon” and a Grammy Award nomination to his credit.
Lanz has recently appeared on the popular web radio program “Whisperings Radio” hosted by pianist David Nevue, and will be featured on an upcoming DVD project with Jan Nickman of Third Planet Entertainment. The high definition DVD will combine a filmed musical documentary called “Living Temples,” highlighting the natural beauty of the Southwest.
