George Winston in Tacoma

The great George Winston, pianist extraordinaire, is coming to Tacoma and we're excited to announce that FISH Food Banks will be the beneficiary of a food drive at his concert.

The show will be held on Friday, September 10 at 8:00 p.m. at the Rialto Theater; tickets are available from the Broadway Center for the Performing Arts.

George Winston's latest solo piano release is Love Will Come – The Music of Vince Guaraldi, Vol. 2, which features compositions by the late jazz pianist, including pieces from the Peanuts® TV specials. It is a follow-up to his acclaimed 1996 CD, Linus & Lucy-The Music of Vince Guaraldi, which included some of Guaraldi's best-known work, including "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" and pieces from the Peanuts® TV specials. Other solo piano releases include Autumn (1980); Winter Into Spring (1982); December (1982); Summer (1991); Forest (1994 - a Grammy Award winner for Best New Age Album); Plains (1999),  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).
