"Richard Glazier has Gershwin in his soul," according to singer and pianist Michael Feinstein. Trained in the classics, Glazier earned bachelor's and master's degrees from Indiana University School of Music and a doctorate of musical arts from the Cleveland Institute of Music. He made formal classical debuts in New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Rome and has won several major international competitions. Glazier has performed in nearly every state in the union. Weaving stories, film clips and piano performances into his programs, he offers an exciting glimpse into our musical heritage.
