DON'T SHOOT ME, I'M ONLY THE PIANO PLAYER

comic concert pianist David Scheel in Concert

Australian comic concert pianist David Scheel will visit Expressions to join music lovers for a Piano Fundraising event during his North Island Tour.  The show includes a brilliant mix of the classics, send-ups of the classics, and topical/social satire.  Don't Shoot Me ... features, among other things, a piece by Andrew Lloyd Webber and a piece by Bach, played at the same time, one with the right hand, the other with the left hand; a popular folk tune played in the styles of Mozart, Rachmaninoff, a Sony Walkman and a blues, and comedy routines on anything from corporate sponsorship to supermarket culture.  Pure music lovers will not be short-changed.
