Randall Atcheson is the epitome of a musical Renaissance man. His gift of communicating the beauty of music in various forms has led to a decidedly versatile career as a much-sought-after artist in the classics as well as in pop and the sacred repertoire. This versatility was evidenced early in life when he was recognized as a prodigy on both piano and organ. He entered Samford University at age 12 and later was accepted at The Juilliard School where he became the only student in the history of Juilliard ever allowed to pursue and receivesimultaneous degrees in piano and organ performance. He studied piano with Sascha Gorodnitzki and organ with Anthony Newman. Atcheson was the winner of the first Juilliard Organ Competition and subsequently gave the prem iere performance on the new pipe organ in Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center. Atcheson made his debut at Salle Gaveau in Paris in 2002 and has since returned to Paris on 16 occasions to play at the American Embassy where recently he had the honor of p erforming for First Lady Laura Bush. He has performed at the American Embassy and the Spanish Embassy in Prague and on three occasions played for President Bush. Atcheson has performed for such artists as Mick Jagger, Kathy Lee Gifford, Phil Collins, Jam es Taylor and Diana Ross. When Atcheson performs there is no distinction between “classical” and “pop”, “great” and “light” music. With an extraordinary gift that he openly credits to his creator, he raises well-crafted music to the level of greatness, a nd he takes masterpieces and makes them unforgettable.
