An evening with celebrated solo pianist George Winston ONLINE on Sunday, November 8th, at 4 PM PST in support of The Dance Palace, a non-profit community center in Point Reyes, CA. The concert will only be able to view live during the stream and will not be recorded.
RSVP for the livestream at https://youtu.be/V2B_QVLUSF0
George Winston is undeniably a household name. He’s inspired fans and musicians alike with his singular solo acoustic piano songs for more than 40 years while selling 15 million albums. A tireless road warrior playing nearly 100 concerts annually, live performance for Winston is akin to breathing. Winston’s music is evocative, offering us all a chance to take a step back from our perpetually busy lives and let our minds adventurously wander.
George Winston’s classic albums, Autumn and December, are perennial favorites, along with Winter into Spring, Summer, 2017’s Spring Carousel – A Cancer Research Benefit, as well as two volumes of the compositions of Vince Guaraldi, two volumes of benefit albums for the Gulf Coast disasters, and six other solo piano albums. He recently released his 15th solo piano album, Restless Wind, via Dancing Cat Records/RCA Records. Restless Wind is a portrayal of Winston’s place in a chaotic world – his compositions extend solace with an idiosyncratic grace. The album is available now at GeorgeWinston.com
Tune in LIVE via YouTube on Sunday, November 8, starting at 4:00pm PST – You can watch this concert live; it will not be recorded or re-aired.
