Playing the piano, Lanz says, is his greatest form of self-expression, especially at his concert performances where he effortlessly blends his emotionally affecting music ("a gift to the soul" wrote one reviewer) with audience involvement and his own charming comic take on life.

Lanz's solo recordings include the landmark CRISTOFORI'S DREAM (which was Number One on Billboard's first adult alternative/new age chart for 27 weeks and eventually sold platinum); All in all he has released over 20 recordings and sold over 5 million records World wide. The year 2000 brought David his first Grammy nomination.

Hal Leonard, America’s largest music publisher, has released a dozen song books of his music. “The most fulfilling thing by far”, David says, “is meeting young musicians who get excited about making music by hearing and playing my own. I think back to how important my influences were as a kid, and I feel blessed to play that role for others."

David recently launched his own record label with fellow musician, Gary Stroutsos, who will be appearing with him at Sunday's concert.
