Solo pianist George Winston, best known for his seasonally themed recordings including DECEMBER, AUTUMN, WINTER INTO SPRING, and SUMMER, presents a solo piano concert.

This solo piano concert will feature selections from George’s melodic piano recordings, as well as R&B piano, stride piano, Vince Guaraldi’s Peanuts© pieces, and more. George will also play some Hawaiian Slack Key guitar.

There will also be a food drive at the concert in support of the Toledo Northwestern Ohio Food Bank. We would like to encourage audience members to bring a non-perishable donation to the concert.

In 1972 George recorded his first solo piano album, BALLADS AND BLUES 1972. Since 1980 George has released nine more solo piano albums: AUTUMN (1980), WINTER INTO SPRING (1982), DECEMBER (1982), SUMMER (1991), FOREST (1994), LINUS & LUCY-THE MUSIC OF VINCE GUARALDI (1996 – which features compositions by the late jazz pianist, including Cast Your Fate to the Wind and pieces from the Peanuts TV specials); PLAINS (1999 – which was inspired by his Eastern Montana upbringing), NIGHT DIVIDES THE DAY – THE MUSIC OF THE DOORS (2002), MONTANA A LOVE STORY (2004) and GULF COAST BLUES & IMPRESSIONS A HURRICANE RELIEF BENEFIT (2006). His latest release is LOVE WILL COME – THE MUSIC OF VINCE GUARALDI, VOL. 2 (2010).

The amount of children who struggle with Hunger in the United States is crazy. Nearly 1 in 4 kids in America struggle with hunger. This is one of those things that you wish so badly that you could personally do something about. Like donate thousands of dollars maybe. Sadly, for most of us, that is not an option. So how can you help? Share your breakfast with Kellogg’s, and they’ll share breakfast with a child who needs it!

The Kellogg Company believes in the power of breakfast and how breakfast can help families make the most of each day’s possibilities.
