Please join us for a performance by Pianist Mark Valenti at Schmitt Music Denver on Saturday, February 11, at 6PM – free and open to the public!
My mission is to share beautiful music with people through performance and teaching in such a manner that they are left enriched without any notions of good or bad, or right or wrong, only fulfillment in self-expression.
Valenti has been playing and teaching piano for decades, developing his personal style and philosophy. He calls it "Zenpiano" meaning that his philosophy is guided by the emotional quality of the music rather than a rigid approach to the written piece.
Seating is limited, so please let us know if you plan to attend. Call 303-777-1900, email us at dnkb@schmittmusic.com, or CLICK HERE TO RSVP ONLINE!
