Miami based pianist and Sony Music Latin recording artist Arthur Hanlon, the only pianist to hit #1 on Billboard’s Latin Music charts, returns to New York on February 29 with his new show, Piano Magic. Trained at the Manhattan School of Music, Hanlon has been lauded for his skills as pianist/composer/producer/ arranger, and the evening’s show will include his solo performance of songs that have made him the most recognizable figure in Latin instrumental music, such as collaborations with top Latin musicians including Puerto Rican singer/songwriter Kany Garcia; Cuban hip hop group Orishas; Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement winner Laura Pausini; and Colombian singer Fonseca. The February 29 performance of Piano Magic will include guest performer Noel Schrajis of Sin Bandera, among others, and is the second of Hanlon’s showcase series with special guests in Miami (Faena Theater, Feb. 21 ) and LA (The Sun Rose, March 2).

Being able to bring my music to intimate venues is something different and very special.”
