Pianist, Vocal Coach, Educator

American pianist Dana Brown is recognized for his commitment to the power of music, old and new. As both soloist and collaborative pianist, he seeks to carry on the traditions of his teachers while defining new works of the 21st century. His new CD is Haydn’s “Schottische and Walisische Volkslieder” with tenor Stephen C Edwards (Lexicon Classics). In the spring of 2024, he will be premiering a new solo recital, “Soundscapes”, an exploration of short piece by a wide array of composers.

Acclaim for the 4Tay Records album Were I With Thee, with Michelle Areyzaga, soprano:

5 Stars: A triumphant song recital by Michelle Areyzaga and Dana Brown

“…the music on Were I With Thee is an outpouring of extended and often passionate lyricism. Pianist Dana Brown is a marvelous partner, likewise a master of both the technical and interpretive aspects of the repertoire. … A marvelous recital.”

- Ken Meltzer – Fanfare

Whether singing at a hush or declaiming ecstatically at full volume, Areyzaga makes a powerful impression, and Brown shows himself to be an ever-empathetic and supportive partner. The two invested themselves fully into these performances and the project as a whole. It’s a celebration of women’s words, yes, but also a very clear confirmation of the performers’ artistry and commitment.” Read More
