Vivaldi Seasons, with the Czech Symphony Chamber Orchestra. In 2004, he 
performed at the First China Flute Convention held in Shenyang China. In 2005, 
he performed, gave a master class and recorded in Japan with Nobutaka Shimizu 
and composer Jean Michel Damase playing piano. This recording of works by Damase 
is on the Nami Records label. Paul Fried teaches flute privately in Los 
Angeles, and offers flute lessons throughout the world via Skype.

Bryan Pezzone is the consummate crossover pianist of his 
generation. He has excelled in classical, contemporary, jazz, and experimental 
genres and is known for both his versatility and virtuosity as a performing 
artist, improviser and composer. He has performed with many major symphony
orchestra associations, has toured widely with the jazz group Free Flight, and 
is known in the LA area as one of the primary free-lance pianists for film and 
television soundtrack recording, contemporary music premieres, and chamber 
music accompaniment.

As a soloist, Bryan has performed with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, 
Pasadena Pops, Santa Monica Symphony, San Antonio Symphony, LA Philharmonic 
Institute Orchestra, US International University Orchestra, U.C. Irvine 
Symphony Orchestra, Eastman Philharmonic and the Pacific Symphony. He has also 

been invited to perform solo keyboard concerts that blend traditional concert 
repertoire, improvisations and original works using the Yamaha Midi Grand by Willamette University for its Distinguished Artist Series, the University of 
Miami, Rice University and in many Southern California appearances including 
the California Institute of the Arts where he was on the piano faculty from 
1987-2000 and has created their multi-focused keyboard program.

In addition, Bryan has been the principal pianist with the 
Hollywood Bowl Orchestra from its inception in 1991 through 1999, has received 
on-screen credit for his performance on the soundtrack of "The Game" 
(with Michael Douglas), The Bucket List, The Kite Runner, Lars and the Real 
Girl, Flipped, City By the Sea and has been the pianist on virtually all of the 
cartoons released by Warner. Brothers and Disney (Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Goof Troop, Bonkers) from 1990-2002.

Bryan received his Bachelor of Music from the Eastman 
School of Music in 1984 where he was awarded the Performers Certificate and won 
the concerto competition. He was invited to the Tanglewood Music Center two 

successive summers as a full scholarship fellow in 1983 and 1984 where he 
received the C.D. Jackson Master Award. He attended the Banff Centre during its winter term on scholarship from 1984 - 1985 as an alternative to graduate 
studies in order to have the necessary time to freely blend various aesthetics 
and diverse performance traditions into a unique approach. This passion remains 
the focus of his work and continues to evolve in Bryan's own concerts called 
"Freedom Series" an eclectic blend of Bryan's compositions and 
improvisations mixed with personal musings on life and inspiration.
