Louis is a master of classical piano, an accomplished songwriter, arranger and performer. His music has inspired the lives of thousands of people in performances that have been referred to as “Stunning in their power and beauty”. Colaiannia is a nationally touring musician performing solo concerts as well as concerts with artists such as Liz Story in places like Tucson, Phoenix, Sedona and Salt Lake City. He performs at Festival Italiano every year (last three years)on the main stage. Over 100,000 people attend the event. He has performed at Keystone Jazz Festival, Woodland Park Jazz Festival and Copper Mountain Jazz Festival. He is set to release a new album in 2013. Louis holds a Mozart Award for his contributions to music, and his latest releases show his versatility, breaking into the Contemporary Jazz, New Age and “Chill” realms.

He is a Primo Award winner two years in a row (2011 and 2012) for Italian American Entertainer of the Year and was recently inducted into the Colorado Italian American Hall of Fame 2012. When he released a new album in the Spring of 2011 the album debuted number 5 on the ZoneMusicReporter (New Age Top 100 Airplay Chart) charts.

Louis Colaiannia – Reviews
"That Louis Colaiannia is a brilliant pianist is an obvious statement: akin to "the sun is warm" in terms of room for debate" Music of Louis Colaiannia... transforms musical notes into ethereal images that captivate the soul. Entrancing with its passion, his music will encompass your being allowing you to experience emotion in waves. Influenced by the works of such immortal composers as Beethoven, Mozart, and Rachmoninoff, Louis Colaiannia intoxicates with their same passion, complexity, and enchantment. Described by Scott Taylor, Veteran Radio Consultant and Award Winning Programmer, as an, "Incredible composer and performer with a touch of Tesh, Brickman & Yanni all rolled into one.” His performances have been called “Stunning in the passion and beauty”. - Will Ackerman, Grammy Award winning guitarist and producer and founder of Windham Hill Records: Aurora’s Light: “Pianist/composer Louis Colaiannia has recorded a tender and touching composition that pays heartfelt tribute to an unspeakably tragic event. His poignant piano playing is accompanied by strings, horns, and angelic female vocals that reflect both saddness and hope. “Aurora’s Light” is a deeply moving homage filled with empathy and deep soulfulness.” -Michael Diamond, Music and Media Focus “From tragedy and loss comes a beautiful new piece from composer/pianist Louis Colaiannia in remembrance of a tiny baby who never had a chance at life. The fully acoustic piece titled “Aurora’s Light” includes Colaiannia at the piano accompanied by strings, brass and voices. Heartfelt and touching are words that only begin to describe the emotion behind the music, and Colaiannia will donate all of the proceeds from this piece to Aurora’s fund.” -Kathy Parsons
Louis Colaiannia – Reviews
Sergey, Ascentor. (Moscow) “In the life of an artist is always an exciting moment when you have to take that first step onto the stage at which you have never spoken – new students , new light , new atmosphere and a few tens of minutes to show the audience all that you can do. Many fear this moment , many are waiting impatiently. Musician from Denver Louis Koleyenya clearly has no fear , he worked hard and successfully performed at home, attending various festivals and with the same success giving solo performances . Yes, that’s even a new album called «The Next Stage». Well, it is worth noting that his style of playing the piano makes it an ideal candidate for stage shows as a small concert halls ( not hard to imagine him at the piano at an expensive restaurant or on an important and solemn ceremonies like weddings, for this is well suited «Ramp It Up » and « City’scapes »), and in large . If many of his colleagues in the black and white keys of music helps create an intimate, trusting environment , it takes a swing and expression , although his compositions are ideal for creating a cozy , warm and romantic atmosphere. Music Louis – is incendiary , filled with tart passion and groove variations on smooth jazz `a, new age, classical and pop , and all together it forms a variety, it is a scenic option… -Dana Wright, Musikreviews.com
