Martin Mayer will be sharing his music with audiences in 20
Chinese cities during his whirl-wind 27-day tour of the Celestial Empire,
starting Sunday September 1. The cross-cultural China tour will offer Chinese
audiences a unique experience of Canadian music, and is presented by Poly
Culture's Vancouver-headquartered North American subsidiary, Poly Culture North
America.
The Vancouver-based award-winning Canadian pianist and
composer's style is known as instrumental fusion, a symphonic blend of smooth
jazz, classical music, pop, rock and various styles of world music.
Martin Mayer started his music education under the watchful
eye of his father, and proceeded to continue with his studies at Canada's Royal
Conservatory of Music, as well as graduating from Edmonton's Grant MacEwan
University, where he majored in Piano Performance and Composition.
Martin Mayer proceeded to compose, perform and produce a
number of albums. All of them have met with enthusiasm from the listening
public, and all have received heavy international airplay on traditional,
internet and satellite radio stations.
Martin Mayer's concert tours of China began after a Chinese
Arts Agency saw the recordings of his self-produced debut concert with a
20-piece orchestra. A 16-city-six-week tour of China took place as a result in
2001, dubbed the biggest tour of any artist in China's modern history.
That is when the Chinese media started calling Martin Mayer
Canada's 'Prince of Piano.'
All dates during his subsequent tours of China have played
to sold-out houses, entertaining thousands in concert, and millions on Chinese
national television.
One of Martin Mayer's proudest moments came recently when
his latest album "Unbreakable" was listed as one of the Top 25 New
Music Critiques of 2018 (Music Connection Magazine, December 2018). It is one
of the few independent Canadian records available on Chinese music-streaming
platforms QQ, NetEase, QianQian and Kuwo.
The Beijing Times have taken to calling Martin Mayer
Canada's 'Prince of Piano, while Canada's National Post predicts that he's
poised to take over the world stage.
