Tony DeSare joins the Terre Haute Symphony Orchestra for "I Love a Piano"
ANNOUNCING:
The opening concert of the THSO 2020-2021 Season!
“I Love a Piano” featuring singer/pianist Tony DeSare
September 27, 2020 at 5:30pm at Fairbanks Park Amphitheater
[Terre Haute, IN] – The New York Times writes, “[Tony’s] sly performance establishes the kind of connection to a younger generation that has helped make Michael Bublé a heartthrob among upscale women in their teens and early 20s...his intonation and enunciation are impeccable.” With several albums under his belt and his latest virtual venture he calls his “Quarantine Diaries”, DeSare is quickly rising to stardom for his sultry voice, impeccable technique, and fresh new compositions.
Tony DeSare performs with infectious joy, wry playfulness, and robust musicality. Named a “Rising Star Male Vocalist” in Downbeat magazine, DeSare has lived up to this distinction by winning critical and popular acclaim for his concert performances throughout North America and abroad. From jazz clubs to Carnegie Hall to Las Vegas headlining with Don Rickles and major symphony orchestras, DeSare has brought his fresh take on old school class around the globe. DeSare has three top ten Billboard jazz albums under his belt and has been featured on the CBS Early Show, NPR, A Prairie Home Companion, and the Today Show, and his music has been posted by social media celebrity juggernaut, George Takei.
In addition to his critically acclaimed turns as a singer/ pianist, DeSare is also an accomplished award-winning composer. He not only won first place in the USA Songwriting Contest, but he has written the theme song for the motion picture, My Date with Drew, along with several broadcast commercials. His sound is romantic, swinging and sensual. But what sets DeSare apart is his ability to write original material that sounds fresh and contemporary yet pays homage to the Great American Songbook. His compositions include a wide-range of romantic, funny, and soulful sounds that can be found on his top-selling recordings.
DeSare releases new recordings, videos of standards and new originals every few weeks on his YouTube channel, iTunes and Spotify.
