General Info

Welcome to the beautiful music of Louis Colaiannia. Louis is internationally acclaimed, and critics have called him 'a musical giant.' His performances are 'stunning in their power and beauty.' A Russian music historian has written that 'the music of Louis Colaiannia...may be the classical music of the third millennium.' Please visit my website to see and hear my catalogue of music. I invite you to order any of my CD's directly. Excerpts from The Westword profile, July 15, 1999: His music may be hard to categorize, CD stores can't seem to decide if it belongs in the classical, jazz, new-age or contemporary bins, but it has attracted a following in unlikely places. Colaiannia says that Salt Lake City loves him...and there are classically trained musicians in Kiev and Khabarovsk, a small, isolated city in far eastern Russia, who are hot for his program. The Russian connection arose out of Colaiannia's involvement with the Denver-based Joy of Music Marathon, which brings together musicians to perform simultaneous concerts in different countries to promote world peace and various music-oriented charities; that led to musicians in Khabarovsk performing Colaiannia's music and an invitation to debut his first symphony there this fall. In a short essay, Russian musicologist Elena Soloviova describes Colaiannia's work as 'simple, harmonious and elevated' and 'extraordinarily democratic,' and suggests that it may be 'the music of the third millennium.'
