Steve Blanco — Solo Piano

Steve Blanco is a pianist, composer, and international touring musician whose solo piano work draws from a lifetime immersed in classical music, jazz, improvisation, and the avant-garde.

A longtime member and bassist of New York’s Imperial Triumphant, Blanco has spent decades performing internationally while developing a deeply personal language at the piano. His solo performances move between composed works and improvisation, transforming elements of his musical history into an intimate and immersive acoustic experience.

His solo piano work includes Imprints of Man and Misztikus. Recent performances include Nashville, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Mexico City, Vienna, and Budapest, with upcoming performances in Madrid and Barcelona.
