About The Artist: Every artist has an epiphany. For award-winning pianist Richard Glazier, it happened at age nine, when he saw the film “Girl Crazy” with a score by George & Ira Gershwin. He was so excited by the music he heard, he wrote a fan letter to famed lyricist Ira Gershwin. After corresponding with each other for three years, Gershwin invited his young friend, then 12, to meet him in Beverly Hills. During their visit, Ira asked Glazier to play a Gershwin tune on the piano that once belonged to his brother, legendary composer George Gershwin.
 

Glazier's passion for the rich cultural heritage of early 20th century American music, has led him to create special programs celebrating the golden age of songwriting.

Glazier has had three nationally broadcast television specials on PBS and Turner Classic Movies. The shows have won multiple awards, including four Telly Awards for Outstanding Achievement in entertainment.

Richard Glazier is a Steinway Artist.
