Instrumental pianist Anne Trenning has titled her fifth recording Beautiful Song — Anne Trenning and Friends. Released in February 2018, this collection features the contributions of numerous Contemporary Instrumental artists and includes five original compositions and six curated cover selections from a multi-genre spectrum. Joined by James Todd, Bill Leslie, David Meyer, Rick Dior, Jane Brendle, Ciro Hurtado, Jeff Oster, John Magnie (The Subdudes), Brandon Bush, Josh Daniel and Mark Schimick, this vibrant musical assemblage features the talents of contributing artists alongside Anne’s emotionally resonant piano stylings. Fans of Adult Alternative, Contemporary Instrumental, New Age, Latin, Folk, Neo-Classical, and Americana genres will find new original music and familiar favorites to enjoy within. There is an organic quality to Anne Trenning’s music that derives from her love of nature and the world around us. She has a deep respect for rural lifestyles. She believes strongly in the importance of family and tradition. History is another fascination, reflected by her penchant for antiques and old homes. Her love for the past also is evident in the traditional sounds of acoustic instruments found throughout her recordings. Anne, who is an avid reader of all genres of literature, feels strongly about passing on knowledge. When not writing, recording, or performing, she teaches piano performance.
