Steinway & Sons is delighted to welcome Matt into the family of Steinway Artists," said Jenn Gordon, Manager of Concert & Artist Activities at Steinway & Sons. "His commitment to Jazz education and artistic excellence as demonstrated through his Jazz recordings make it most appropriate that he is now included in the Steinway Artist Roster."Steinway Artists are a select and prestigious group which includes classical pianists like Lang Lang, jazz stars like Diana Krall, pop icons like Billy Joel and Randy Newman, and "immortals" like George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Duke Ellington, to New Orleans
legends such as Harry Connick, Jr. and Ellis Marsalis. More than 1,600 artists make the Steinway their own.
In celebration of Matt Lemmler being named a Steinway Artist, he will perform a program of music honoring beloved Steinway Artists, as well as offer his own versions of beloved hymns at Esplanade Studios (Louisiana's largest recording studio.) The program will be recorded, resulting in the production of two albums that will be available to the public at a later date. Beginning at 3:00pm, (first seating opens at 2:30) the first session will be followed by an intermission, where food and beverages will be available. We will reconvene with the second session starting at 5:00pm, with seating available at 4:30pm.
