On Sunday nights, we’re putting the spotlight on the grand piano and the amazing musicians who play it! Front and center on the Festival’s concert stage is the AvantGrand hybrid piano N3X generously provided by Yamaha. Enjoy an evening of live music performed by some of Southern California’s most highly regarded pianists.

Pianist and Grammy nominated arranger Tom Zink has performed throughout the Southern California area for nearly 30 years. A long time Yamaha artist, his piano recording can be heard on hundreds of Yamaha Disklavier disks including solo piano and combos. His performances range from intimate club settings to performing arts centers (Carpenter, McCullum) as well as larger corporate events that include ATT, Lexus, and Disney. His group comes in many sizes including solo piano, trio, quintet and beyond. Tom has performed with and recorded for a host of jazz and pop artists including Dave Koz, Richard Elliot, Michael McDonald, Brian Bromberg, Ronnie Laws, Plas Johnson, and Steve Tyrell. His repertoire focuses on Jazz standards (great American Song Book), Bossa Nova (Jobim) and groovy smooth jazz classics, and he is able to put together any size group, or instrumentation to perform that songbook.
