Music enthusiasts are in for a rare treat when David Osborne, “Pianist to the Presidents,” takes the stage at the Brock Performing Arts Center on Saturday, January 25th at 7:30 pm.

His blend of romantic, classical, jazz, pop, inspirational, patriotic, and Broadway show tunes is guaranteed to wow music lovers of all ages. Making their third appearance at the Brock due to requests from its patrons, the Davie Arts Council looks forward to welcoming the David Osborne Trio back to Davie County.

Pianist to the President

Osborne has given performances at the White House for every American President since Ronald Reagan. He is also a regular performer for Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter in Plains, Georgia. He created and organized President Carter’s 75th birthday tribute in 1999 and has performed at each birthday party since. President Carter has said that “David is one of the finest pianists in the United States.”

Furthering the Tradition of Romantic Piano

When he is not touring with the David Osborne Trio, Osborne performs at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. He has released 27 CD’s, and his recordings on the Northstar Music label have become the #1 romantic piano recordings in the nation, selling over a million copies.

A Lifetime of Music

David Osborne, “Pianist to the Presidents,” takes the stage at the Brock Performing Arts Center Born and raised in Miami, Oklahoma, Osborne began playing piano by ear at the age of four. He started formal training when he was five years old. Osborne received his undergraduate degree from Oral Roberts University. At Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, he studied classical pipe organ and piano performance, with a minor in French. At Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg, Kansas, he completed a master’s degree in keyboard performance and music composition.

A few of Osborne’s more significant recent events include a concert for the American Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation; an interview and performance on TV’s “The 700 Club”; a concert for the Steinway and Sons International convention of worldwide dealers at the Beverly Hills Hotel; a benefit concert at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y.; two concerts for Mr. and Mrs. Don Hall, CEO of Hallmark Cards in Kansas City; and a performance in Las Vegas, playing the Steinway pianos of Vladimir Horowitz, Van Cliburn and George Gershwin at Southern Nevada Music as a part of Steinway and Sons Legendary Instruments of the Immortals Tour.
