Nicholas Bavani is an up and coming performer known for his artistic touches on the piano. His goals are to reinvent classical music concerts by incorporating art, media, current events, and collaborations in his performances. Bavani’s idea of being a “Salon Pianist” is gaining traction internationally. Nicholas has performed multiple times in Florence, Italy and recently performed a cabaret in London, England. Inspired by early 20th-century Parisian culture, Bavani utilizes ideas from the Ballet Russes and is inspired by Monsieur Diaghilev, Satie, and Monet.
