Shallowford Pres. Church presents Pianist John Burke in Concert

Shallowford Pres. Church presents John Burke, the Grammy®-nominated, charismatic pianist and composer, in a free concert, open to the public, on Sunday, November 19th at 3:00 p.n.

Shallowford Presbyterian Church is located at 2375 Shallowford Rd., Atlanta 30345. (404) 321-1844.

Inspired by pianist George Winston and keyboardist Ray Manzarek, John has created a rich, voluminous sound that challenges common preconceptions of solo piano music. He has played concerts throughout Atlanta, including last month at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur.

A native of Atlanta, GA, John began studying piano in high school after being inspired by his musical father. He played sporadically for a few years, but once he enrolled at Oglethorpe University, his musical life flourished as he joined a southern rock band, studied with remarkable artists, and started composing.

Since 2011, John has composed multiple acclaimed solo piano albums. John's latest album, Orogen, was nominated for Best New Age Album for the 59th Annual Grammy® Awards. John has also composed scores for film and stage, directed musical theatre, and collaborated with incredible instrumentalists, singers, and writers.
