Fascinated with the intersection of storytelling, speech, and movement, pianist Nathaniel LaNasa partners with singers, dancers, and ensembles in music spanning five centuries. A consummate collaborator, Nate has been praised for his “stormy lyricism” (New York Times) as well as his “poise and elegance” (Feast of Music). In early 2022, he performed Intimate Apparel, Ricky Ian Gordon’s new opera, sixty times at Lincoln Center. His premieres include works by Nate Wooley, Matthew Ricketts, Molly Joyce, Shawn Jaeger, and Dimitri Tymoczko. Nate curates NYFOS Next at the Rubin Museum and is on the roster of Brooklyn Art Song Society. NYC credits include Alice Tully Hall, Carnegie Hall, MoMA, and (le) Poisson Rouge; he has also performed at the Musée d’Orsay (Paris), Wigmore Hall (London), and Burning Man (Black Rock City). Nate is a graduate of the Juilliard School and Manhattan School of Music. Nathaniel-lanasa.com.
