Nina Simone is an icon of American music-composer, vocalist, pianist and civil rights activist. Her musical explorations spanned jazz, folk, classical, soul and everything in between. The less well-known Dorothy Donegan was a virtuoso pianist who shared a love for classical explorations.
The Piano Starts Here series highlights the work of some of the most prolific and talented composers and pianists to have ever tackled the instrument. Each of the performances brings together Seattle’s finest pianists to perform the works of the artist selected for that evening on the Royal Room’s Steinway B grand piano. Past PSH performances have highlighted the work of Sonny Clark, Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington, Sun Ra, Annette Peacock, Bill Evans, Mary-Lou Williams, Fats Waller, Herbie Hancock, Alice Coltrane, Herbie Nichols, and countless others.
