Steinway Series - Chad Lawson at Royal Albert Hall

Pianist and composer Chad Lawson makes his Royal Albert Hall debut in the Elgar Room, as he brings his new album breathe on tour to London. Fittingly, as it was recorded at Abbey Road Studios and with members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

This luminous double album is a collection of soothing melodies that inspire mindful moments of blossoming hope to re-centre the mind and wash away stress. It finds the North Carolina-based musician exploring the healing powers of music as he wraps listeners in a warm, calming sonic embrace.

breathe marks the next chapter in a career that’s consistently found the official Steinway artist at the top of the Classical Billboard charts and signing major sync deals for Chevrolet, IBM, Microsoft, and Delta Airlines commercials. Before his solo piano debut in 2009 with Set On A Hill, Lawson toured with Julio Iglesias’ live band. Following the release of his critically acclaimed Decca debut You Finally Knew in 2020, Chad Lawson created Calm It Down, a podcast to help listeners recharge and re-centre through the power of music. Now with over two million downloads and an iHeart Radio Award nomination, Lawson has recently launched season three of the podcast. The new season features music from breathe and offers Lawson’s fresh perspectives on mindfulness, coping with grief, discovering passions, and more.

“His latest release, breathe, a cadenced, meditative album of piano, cello and violin, puts his work studying the science behind calming music and its neurological benefits into practice…” – The Financial Times
