Todd Burns

Presenting Todd Burns… Australia's most popular concert pianist, known as  King of the Keyboards. Todd performs powerfully captivating classical pieces from the likes of Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Liszt and Chopin. Todd is a genius of the piano and is often referred to as King of the Keyboards. His astonishing ability is evident in the way can he move effortlessly from a performance of Greig's Concerto in A minor on the classic 9ft concert grand, to a delivery of Scott Joplin's The Entertainer on a honky-tonk upright. Then a masterful performance of Mozart's Rondo alla Turka on a traditional harpsichord and a hauntingly powerful performance of Bach's Toccata on a pipe organ… From the delicate beginnings of Debussy's Claire De Lune and Chopin's passionate Nocturne to the tempestuous climax of Rachmaninov's Prelude, Todd gives a performance full of contrast. Sharp wild chords, staccato stabs, and rippling emotions along with punishing octaves running down the keyboard leave audiences gasping at his explosive keyboard energy… Todd is a spine tingling phenomenon… Todd is the keyboard king…

Todd is one of the few performers in the World invited to play at the Liberace Museum.

"... I can only hope to aspire to the heights Todd has reached! I am studying classical piano. My piano teacher advised me to go along and see Todd's show. I sat awestruck at his incredible ability and the way the rest of the audience in the theatre were in the palm of his hand. The respect and presence he commands while on stage is unbelievable. I only hope I will one day attain something of the level of performer that he is. Todd, thank you. You are an inspiration that all the time and effort is worth it."
