He graduated with honors through the School of Music from The University of Northern Colorado, and later became a Klingenstein Fellow at Columbia University in New York City. Michael began his music teaching career in 1981 at The Kent Denver School, and then relocated to Seattle to continue teaching at The Bush School, and to launch his now celebrated recording career. ‘San Juan Suite’, Michael’s first recording, quickly received international acclaim, and is considered by many reviewers and ‘best-of lists’, as one of the finest solo piano recordings of its genre. A Gold Record recipient, he has 12 international releases, most of them inspired by nature and specific regions, such as the Southwest (‘Skywatching’), the Pacific Northwest(‘San Juan Suite I and II’), and The United Kingdom(‘The Journey North’). Michael’s work has been used extensively in network programming and film. His album and accompanying video, ‘The Art of Nature’, won the Gold Prize for best long-form video in The Houston International Film Festival. For more on Michael or to contact him visit his website at http://sanluismusic.orgSupport the show
