Grammy-Nominated Pianist Leanne Rees
To Perform in San Jose

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA -- Steinway Society the Bay Area is proud to present a special performance themed Women in Jazz: Their Artistry and Inspiration by Grammy-nominated pianist Leanne Rees on Saturday August 28 at 8:00pm, the proceeds of which will benefit Steinway Society’s outreach, education, and scholarship programs.

A graduate of Stanford University, she continued her study of the piano in California with pianist/composer Allen Ferguson and later with Sylvia Jenkins and Adolph Baller, and in Washington D.C. with Thomas Mastroianni. She has performed extensively in
California and throughout the United States and Europe. Since moving to the Washington DC area, Ms. Rees has performed with numerous chamber ensembles and was honored by Washingtonian Magazine as one of twenty-eight leading women performers.

A trailblazer in the development of works by women composers, Leanne Rees has discovered and performed works of women throughout the United States and Europe. When the Steinway Society decided to feature Women in Jazz: Their Artistry and Inspiration, Leanne was the obvious choice.

The Steinway Society is a non-profit volunteer based organization whose mission is "To promote excellence in piano performance and music education in the Bay Area". Ms. Rees performance is a powerful example of the world-class concerts Steinway Society offers as it enters its tenth great season.
