Pianist in Demand

Award-winning New Zealand pianist and current associate professor of piano at Florida State University Read Gainsford has performed throughout the world as solo recitalist, concert soloist and chamber musician. Gainsford performs at Middle Tennessee State University where School of Music Director Dr George Riorden is excited at the prospect of Gainsford working with the students before becoming a household name. “From the level of his artistry we know he is going to be an artist much in demand in the very near future,” Riorden said. “This will give the middle Tennessee public a chance to claim him before becoming famous.”
