A little improvisation for Monday. Recorded at the Steinway Hamburg showroom. #GKO #independentartist #classicalpiano #piano #classicalmusic #musicislife #musician #improvisation #steinway

The thing I love about improvising the Bach Chaconne is that each performance is so different… 🎻 During my Taipei debut show #Instrumental #PianoGuitar #Steinway #MusiciansOfInstagam #MusicExperiment #FYP #GKO #independentartist #piano #musicislife #musicians

🎥 Have you seen the new music video? Now streaming on YouTube, my first ever music video of “Cinema Paradiso”! When I was in Taiwan planning for the Taipei show, I teamed up with Temporary Truth Creative to shoot my first mv. Watch it here: youtu.be/_cRGw06yBzU?si… #piano

Something in Eb to warm up the fingers. #instrumental #piano #pianoplayer #independentartist #🎹 #musiclover #GKO

Throwback to the pre-show warmup Thornden Hall in the UK in April. “Stop This Train” by John Mayer #tbt #tour #piano #pianocover #johnmayer #uk #behindthescenes

Some Sakamoto to start the week. “Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence”, the theme by Ryuichi Sakamoto. Clip from my show The Resort at Pelican Hill Will be playing there also in October! RSVP link here: gkopiano.com/rsvp-newport-b… #piano

By popular demand, a quick cover of “Die With a Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. This was a fun one to improvise over. I may or may not have added some impressionistic influences. Which cover should I do next? #DieWithASmile #coversong Lady Gaga Bruno Mars

Can’t wait to play this piece again this upcoming tour! This is my Improvised Variations on a theme of Bach’s Chaconne. The ending is always the most fun to improvise. Every time it’s different, and infusing the energy of the audience is the best part.  #classicalpiano #piano

One of my favorite parts during a show is writing songs with the audience During a show in London @steinwayhalluk someone requested the feeling of nostalgia… in the key of D minor. It definitely was a challenge, but I think we came up with something special together. #piano
