Bill Schumacher
BILL SCHUMACHER was one of the founding members of the Hammond Organ Club, Sydney formed in the 1960s and became a member of TOSA NSW Division soon after its formation. Twice Bill won the City of Sydney Eisteddfod and has completed a course by correspondence with the Dick Grove Modern Harmony School, Los Angeles.
Bill is well known for both piano and organ playing in restaurants. Bill has appeared in concert many times on the Wurlitzers in Sydney's State, Prince Edward and Capitol Theatres and in the Orion Theatre and Marrickville Town Hall.
Bill has given interstate concerts in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. During several visits to the USA, Bill has played a recital for the Puget Sound Chapter of the American Theatre Organ Society, and has been guest artist at the Pizza and Pipes Restaurant in Seattle. Bill considers himself fortunate to have visited and played some major US theatre pipe organ installations including the Seattle Paramount and Portland Paramount's San Gabriel Civic Auditorium, the Kern Residence, Detroit Fox and Portland and Denver's Organ Grinder Restaurants.
Bernard Walz
BERNARD WALZis no regular concert-pianist. His musical and technical brilliance is matched by his embracing and dynamic on-stage personality. And his extraordinary ability to perform every style from Beethoven to Boogie sets his performance apart from the ordinary. Australia’s Maestro Tommy Tycho says, “Bernard Walz is simply sensational”. England’s Max Bygraves lauds Bernard for his “tremendous…honest-to-goodness piano playing!”. Critically considered Australia’s premier “Pops” pianist, Bernard has been awarded two “Entertainer Of The Year” awards and seven “Instrumental Performer of the Year” awards both locally and internationally.
Bernard’s international reputation has led him from performances in the Concert Hall of the famed Sydney Opera House and the major concert halls and performance venues of Australia, to Royal Festival Hall in London (where he performed with the BBC Concert Orchestra), the legendary Village Vanguard in New York, and solo concerts across the USA and Europe.
Be prepared for an afternoon of superb music with Bernard Walz and Bill Schumacher. Venue
