A&R Entertainment presents pianist George Winston in concert at the Latchis Theatre on Sunday, October 21, at 7 p.m.

Self-described “rural folk piano” player George Winston was among the earliest and most successful proponents of the genre of contemporary instrumental music later dubbed New Age. Although born in Michigan in 1949, he was raised primarily in Montana, the extreme seasonal changes he experienced there later greatly influencing the pastoral feel of his music.

Beginning in 1980, Winston released 10 albums through the Windham Hill/Dancing Cat labels, with three (Autumn in 1980, Winter Into Spring in 1982 and December in 1982) going platinum, and four more attaining gold record status.

More recently, his recording energies have been directed toward benefit album – Gulf Coast Blues & Impressions: A Hurricane Benefit in 2006, Gulf Coast Blues & Impressions 2: A Louisiana Wetlands Benefit in 2012 and, most recently, Spring Carousel: A Cancer Research Benefit in 2017.
