THE CONCERT PIANIST
The morning following his stunning debut recital performed before a capacity audience of 1,500 excited listeners in Vienna, Austria, the headline of The Podium heralded Raymond Jackson as "a God-Gifted Musician." Just a few days earlier in Munich, Germany the Suddeutsche Zeiting acclaimed him as "a masterly talent.
More than a display of technical brilliance and an authoritative command of the keyboard (which he has in abundance), Jackson is an artist who envisions each performance as an opportunity to inspire and elevate his listeners. From city to city and country to country the responses are unanimous.
