Renowned pianist Arthur Hanlon continues to enchant audiences with his annual Christmas concert, a cherished tradition featuring his iconic red piano. In a dazzling spectacle unveiled for the first time on YouTube, Hanlon, along with his talented band, showcased “A Holiday Christmas Piano,” a 18-minute concert presented on a gorgeous stage adorned with lights and videos. The four-track mini-special has also been released as an EP, treating listeners to fresh renditions of timeless classics such as “Silent Night,” “Carol of the Bells,” and “Angels We Have Heard On High.”

Hanlon, a pianist, composer, and arranger, holds the unique distinction of reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Latin charts. Armed with a master’s degree in piano performance from the Manhattan School of Music, Hanlon seamlessly blends Detroit street vibes, jazz, Motown, classical finesse, and Latin beats in his performances. Collaborating with Latin luminaries like Marc Anthony, ChocQuibTown, Prince Royce, amongst many others, Hanlon has left an indelible mark on the music scene.

Directed by Edgar Marrera, the visually stunning special was filmed at the Church of the Glades in South Florida. Accompanied by a five-piece band and featuring the exceptional cello virtuoso King Sophia in his rendition of “Oh Holy Night,” Hanlon delivered a delightful performance.

For Hanlon, Christmas holds a special place as the catalyst for his journey into music. Recounting the pivotal moment when his father gifted him a piano at the age of six, Hanlon reflects on the magical evenings spent listening to Christmas carols played by a family friend. Switching between English and Spanish in the video, Hanlon expresses, “Christmas is not only my favorite time of the year; it’s the reason I’m a pianist today. Thanks to Christmas, I am a pianist, and I want to give back all that joy and magic to my fans.”

Infuse holiday spirit to your home with this inspired concert, an ideal backdrop for your festive Christmas dinners.
