Biography: Lincoln Mayorga Find a musician who is equally versatile and virtuosic regardless of musical genres and you've found Lincoln Mayorga. The range of his professional success transcends the varied worlds of classical music, popular music, and jazz. For many years, Lincoln enjoyed one of the busiest studio careers in Hollywood. He was the staff pianist for Walt Disney Studios and contributed to the soundtracks of such motion pictures as "Chinatown," "Pete's Dragon," "The Competition," "The Rose," and "Ragtime",to name a few. As pianist, arranger,and conductor, Lincoln made many recordings with such artists as Johnny Mathis, Barbra Streisand, Vikki Carr, Mel Torme, Phil Ochs, Andy Williams, Frank Zappa, and Quincy Jones. Lincoln has taken his diverse 18th through 21st century repertoire to more than two-hundred cities across the United States, Canada, Europe and Russia. His performing collaborations have been with such musicians as Itzhak Perlman, Richard Stoltzman, Michael Tilson Thomas, Gerard Schwarz, and many distinguished American orchestras. He has become recognized as a champion of American music. The Moscow Philharmonic invited him to perform Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue and "I Got Rhythm" Variations, on their first concert devoted to American music. The recordings derived from that concert have been widely praised in the music press and are often played on the radio. Lincoln has been the featured guest on "Piano Jazz,"Marion McPartland's popular program on National Public Radio. He recently completed the composition of a piano concerto,"Angels' Flight," a nostalgic tribute to the city of Los Angeles and the cinematic musical idiom. This work had its first performance with the composer as soloist, assisted by the Henry Mancini Institute Orchestra. www.lincolnmayorga.com www.townhallrecords.com "Impeccable pianism" -- Los Angeles Times "The most enjoyable concert of the year..." --Ventura Coast Reporter "The pianistic flare of an Artur Rubinstein and the droll standup delivery of some of our best young comedians" --News Herald, Franklin, PA “Wonderfully artistic ”---San Francisco Chronicle “Lincoln Mayorga reveals unquestioned flair for the Gershwin style and demonstrates wonderful rhythmic esprit in all that he does.These performances must be considered top ranked.”---Igor Kipnis,The Stereophile “A cultivated pianist with no affectation,he gives himself completely to all that he plays.” ---Kleines Volksblatt, Vienna “The eminent pianist and teacher “Karl Ulrich Schnabel claimed few pianists could play classical and non-classical styles equally well, with one exception: the wonderfully named Lincoln Mayorga.” ---Jed Distler,The Gramophone
