EXPERIENCE “PIANO READINGS” WITH PETER KATER
Sunday, August 3rd, Lily Dale Auditorium, 1:00pm – 7:00pm
$400 per person
Have you ever wondered what a song would sound like that was composed just for you? Peter Kater, 2x Grammy Award-winning pianist and composer, invites you to experience a deeply personal, one-of-a-kind musical offering: his Piano Readings.
Here’s how it works:You’ll connect one on one privately with Peter for a 20-30 minute conversation about what’s present in your life — what’s on your mind, what’s working, what’s challenging, what’s in your heart. From this conversation, Peter will tap into the unique energy and emotions you bring, receiving a clear musical vision, chord changes, melody and tempo that will become the foundation of your very own “song.”
When it’s time to create, Peter will invite you to lie beneath his piano and Peter will improvise a deeply personal, emotive piece for you based on the exact chord, melody, and feeling he’s intuitively guided to play. The musical portion of the session lasts about 8-12 minutes, during which time Peter channels your unique energy into a beautiful, spontaneous composition.
The entire session will be professionally recorded, just as Peter does for his albums, and you’ll receive an MP3 or Hi-Res WAV file to listen to and reflect on, again and again.
Peter’s Piano Readings are an intimate, empathic experience, and he plays differently for each person, responding to the emotional energy in the room. It’s an experience of true connection through music, and many of the pieces he creates during these sessions have formed the basis for his Grammy-winning album Dancing on Water, which is a collection of similar personal “readings.”
Peter says it best: "I really love doing these and it’s an honor to share intimate space with you."
Book your Piano Reading session with Peter today and experience a song that’s uniquely yours. Discounted to $400 per person for this unique weekend in Lily Dale. The entire session takes about 40-45 minutes alone with Peter.
