ABOUT LINCOLN
MAYORGA
Find a musician who is equally versatile and
virtuosic regardless of musical genres and you've found Lincoln Mayorga. The
range of his professional success transcends the varied worlds of classical
music, popular music, and jazz.
For many years, Lincoln enjoyed one of the busiest studio careers in
Hollywood. He was the staff pianist for Walt Disney Studios and contributed
to the soundtracks of such motion pictures as "Chinatown," "Pete's Dragon,"
"The Competition," "The Rose," and "Ragtime," to name a few.
As pianist, arranger, and conductor, Lincoln made many recordings with such
artists as Johnny Mathis, Barbra Streisand, Marni Nixon, Vikki Carr, Mel Torme, Phil
Ochs, Andy Williams, Frank Zappa, and Quincy Jones.
Lincoln has taken his diverse 18th through 21st century repertoire to more
than two-hundred cities across the United States, Canada, Europe and Russia.
His performing collaborations have been with such musicians as Itzhak
Perlman, Richard Stoltzman, Michael Tilson Thomas, Gerard Schwarz, and many
distinguished American orchestras.
He has become recognized as a champion of American music. The Moscow
Philharmonic invited him to perform Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue and "I Got
Rhythm" Variations, on their first concert devoted to American music. The
recordings derived from that concert have been widely praised in the music
press and are often played on the radio.
Lincoln has been the featured guest on "Piano Jazz," Marion McPartland's
popular program on National Public Radio. He recently completed the
composition of a piano concerto, "Angels' Flight," a nostalgic tribute to
the city of Los Angeles and the cinematic musical idiom. This work had its
first performance with the composer as soloist, assisted by the Henry
Mancini Institute Orchestra.
