Vision Quest Entertainment Presents
|
The Soiled Dove Underground and Vision Quest Entertainment present an unforgettable evening of original solo piano music featuring four internationally famous solo piano artists – Julio Mazziotti from Mendoza Argentina, Mario López Santos from Aranda de Duero Spain, plus two Colorado artists making a Denver stop in their international touring schedules, Louis Colaiannia, and Lisa Downing. Each of these musicians is an accomplished composer, performer, and recording artist, with CDs that have gained worldwide recognition. The compelling original music of these broadly imaginative composers ranges from from Latin influenced jazzy new-age and upbeat neo-classical, to pieces reminiscent of an intensly somber and dramatic soundtrack for a “Twilight” - type saga.
Louis Colaiannia is a multi award winning pianist and composer. His most recent album Closer was recorded at Imaginary Road Studio and produced by Will Ackerman and Tom Eaton. It was Number 1 on the One World Music Top 100 Radio Chart and nominated for a Zone Music Award and an EPR Award. His performances have been called “stunning in their power and beauty”. Alejandro Clavijo of "Reviews New Age" called Colaiannia’s music “an explosion of sounds and melodies.”
Lisa Downing is a multiple award winning, international concert pianist who is re-defining the genre of solo piano. Critics have said that “Lisa’s performance will blow away all your previous assumptions about solo piano,” and “Lisa’s playing touches all your emotions, providing them with a startling mastery of her own beautiful and heartfelt voice.” Ms Downing performs all over the world with Grammy Award winning musicians such as Liz Story, David Lanz, Will Ackerman, Suzanne Ciani, and Peter Kater.
Julio Mazziotti has been described as a masterful, strong and powerful pianist who’s original compositions create an an exciting rich and memorable experience. His ability to connect with audiences in all parts of the world is evidenced the moment he steps onto any stage. A nattive of Mendoza, Argentina, Julio performs in concert worldwide to fascinated and adoring concert goers. The distinctively Latin influence of Tango rhythms from his native land, and the intense emotions of his Italian heritage entice listeners to join him in a culture uniquely his own.
Mario López Santos is one of the hottest rising stars in Spain today. Mario began his musical career as a young, classical prodigy studying at the Royal Top Conservatoire of Music of Madrid. He has evolved over the years to become a respected and critically acclaimed performer and composer. Mario’s music has been described as emotionally touching, intriguing and technically impressive. His compositions are at once powerful, sensuous and compelling. Sr. Santos has found the perfect fusion of Classic, World and Modern Contemporary Piano that have thrilled audiences all over the world!
