* MARCH 14TH 2019 - 6 PIANOS HOUSTON!!!

I'm ecstatic to be presenting music for 6 pianos in Houston this May!  It's my first big production in Houston but I feel it's going to be a great way to connect with the community.  As you know, the idea behind the 6-Piano Project is community based and donating back to the community via placing pianos in lower income schools.  If you would like to donate to this not-for-profit event, click on the Donate button below.  Any amount from $1+ helps!  All money donated will go to the restoration and placement of these pianos in lower income homes and schools.    

And if you don't use Paypal another option is Venmo: @NathanFelix or email me for your preferred solution - n.j.felix@gmail.com.  I can also email receipts for tax purposes.  

AND what will this concert look like?  Here is a video from 6-Pianos Barcelona.  Here is one from 6-Pianos San Antonio.  Here is a PBS mini doc on the 6-Pianos Austin.
