SUMMARY:Young Steinway Artist: George Ko at Salmagundi Club
DESCRIPTION:Artist Bio: \nHeralded by Steinway & Sons for “making classical music exciting and accessible for the masses\,” pianist George Ko has encapsulated audiences worldwide with his classical improvisations on the piano\, blending Chopin-like virtuosity with the vast soundscapes of cinema. He has been presented at Carnegie Hall 9 times and is a repeat keynote performer for TEDx. George is engaged in a 20-city tour and has given over 200 digital concerts in the past two years. His performances have been broadcasted on ABC and featured in music festivals in Italy\, Germany\, Luxembourg\, and China. As a recording artist\, his piano compositions have appeared in films at the Tribeca Film Festival\, Sundance Film Festival\, and Netflix. You can hear George’s piano on records by The Black Keys\, Foster the People\, 24kGoldn\, and Handsome Boy Modeling School. \nGeorge improvises all the songs at his concerts\, a practice almost non-existent in the traditional classical world. Each original or cover performed is never the same in a live performance. He often takes daring requests from the audience\, including their Spotify favorites\, to a custom song inspired by their current mood in real-time. \nCurrently\, George resides in Los Angeles\, California. His music is distributed independently on all streaming platforms. George is also a member of the Society of Composers and Lyricists and ASCAP. While not playing the piano\, you can find George walking around taking photos of food just before devouring it. He is an avid coffee pour-over enthusiast and collector of Asian American art. French and Japanese boutique Maison Kitsuné outfits George for all his concert wear. George is represented by Polyphony Arts in Europe. George is a Young Steinway Artist. \nEvent Description: \nCome enjoy an evening of mystical-musical wonder as Young Steinway Artist George Ko plays a completely improvised setlist at NYC’s Salmagundi Club. George will be playing his originals and spontaneous covers ranging from Classical to Jazz\, Hip Hop\, Anime\, and film music. You will also have the unique opportunity to create and request a song during the show. \nGeorge will be playing music from: \n-Studio Ghibli \n-Disney \n-John Mayer \n-AND You will also have the unique opportunity to request any song this evening.
