Michael Allen Harrison’s long running legendary show Ten Grands is moving into a new era and is now primarily focused on presenting and supporting the next generation. This years cast has eight new young artists who are not only great pianists but fine up and coming composers and multiple instrumentalists. The show features  four Ten Piano arrangements of everyone playing together, solos duets, Eight hands on two pianos and a couple of remarkable surprises. Ten Grands is all about supporting youth and young artists on and off stage. The show’s net proceeds help to support the mission of PLAY IT FORWARD – http://www.pifmusic.org

Play it Forward has provided thousands of instruments and access to music for children and their families who otherwise would not be able to afford it.
