PEACEFUL PIANO with Nat Bartsch & Luke Howard

PEACEFUL PIANO is a double-bill tour featuring Australia’s foremost post-classical pianist/composers.

Luke Howard and Nat Bartsch are at the forefront of the growing post-classical piano movement in Australia. Their beautiful original music draws influence from classical, electronic, film, minimalism and jazz and has had a powerful impact on people from all walks of life. For this special double bill tour, Luke and Nat each perform a set of their music, joining forces at the end for a special collaboration – blurring the lines of composition and improvisation, acoustic and electronic. This tour will celebrate the release of new music by both artists.

This double bill is for all music lovers, classical and otherwise. Our music reaches a wide music through streaming (Luke’s music has been streamed well over 50 million times) and has connected with audiences worldwide. We would love to share it with a regional audience.

The present popularity of piano-based post-classical music along with Nat’s lullaby/mindfulness pivot are great selling points for this project. Luke and Nat both have record deals with albums coming out in the anticipated touring timeframe.

Both Nat and Luke are available to run workshops with music students, while Nat also has a lullaby show (which Luke plays in) which is suitable for parents and their young children.
