"An Evening of Contemporary Piano with Jason Farnham" Concert Experience
BIO
"Schroeder", er- that is, Jason, of Los Angeles, CA is truly THE "International Entertainer of Contemporary Piano Music". From the baby grand at Deepak Chopra's retreat in San Diego to the Cultural Center for the Arts in Canton, Ohio, Jason's spectacular show "An Evening of Contemporary Piano" delights audiences around the U.S., again and again. Let's start with Jason's classic instrumental hit "When". Now add his original techno dance-mix arrangement of Fur Elise, cleverly titled "Fur God Sakes Elise, Let's Dance!" (Watch the video!) How about a bossa-nova-samba fusion of "Autumn Leaves"? And Wolgang Amadeus Mozart's "Rondo Alla Turca" becomes "Rondo Alla Techno!" Playing the piano while lying upside down underneath it? Check. Top it off with Jason’s upbeat personality, with comical, witty insights between the pieces, and audiences have something to write home about! Ask about Jason’s special Valentine's and Christmas shows, which include original arrangement crowd-pleasers like "Calyps-O Christmas Tree" and "I Got the Jingle Bells Blues". Fans have compared Jason to both "Schroeder" from Peanuts and Victor Borge because of his comical-style of playing and his toy piano (which he brings with him to every show :-) For larger budgets, Jason brings along some very good friends as guest artists: Seattle-based master percussionist Ian Dobson and/or internationally renowned jazz vocalist Coco York.
