About Elizabeth Anne Middleton
If you like lyrical visual piano music by such composers as Chopin, Debussy or Satie, you’ll like the music of the PIANORAMA CD albums composed and performed by Elizabeth Anne Middleton. Elizabeth grew up in the country on a farm in the Flint Hills of Kansas, nurtured by the scenic beauty of a meandering creek, hilly pastures, and the vastness of an open sky. She was surrounded by the sound of music from an early age, in a family of professional and amateur musicians. She has studied and performed the music of the masters, as a classical pianist and as a singer and clarinetist. Her music reveals a wide-ranging life with a depth of experience. Elizabeth lived her first quarter century in Kansas, and then lived in western Massachusetts for the next decade, where she earned a degree in music from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, and taught piano at the Amherst-Pelham School. In Woodstock, NY, she was a co-founder of the Eightfold Council, an organization based on the spiritual principles of the Six Nations, or Iroquois Confederacy. She began writing songs about animals and nature, singing and accompanying herself with an autoharp. She toured as opening act with the stage name "Octavia Neptune" on a Daevid Allen U.S. tour in 1980, and continued writing songs and performing as a singer/songwriter throughout that decade. Elizabeth played piano at Nordstrom in Seattle, WA, and Portland, OR, and at many events in country clubs, hotels, schools, churches and auditoriums. She began writing piano music in the late 1990s and recorded her first album of piano music, "Pianorama," in 2002, and her second, "Pianorama II: Ode to the Satellite," in 2003. Since then she has composed and recorded an additional eight PIANORAMA CD albums at Tantrum Studios in California, mastered by Sjoerd Koppert. Elizabeth is a signed artist with Tantrum Records. She currently lives in Santa Barbara, California.
