Lee Glantz can be the difference between a nice event and a great one. Lee has worked with some of the New York region's finest event planners. Available for holiday parties, birthdays, weddings etc.
“Listening to Lee Glantz perform is pure joy. It’s clear he loves what he does, and you will too.”
Michael Feinstein
Lee was wonderful! He played a wide variety of songs for our home party to celebrate by husband's birthday and Christmas. It truly added to the ambience. Perfect tempo and style. He also played a specially requested family song. Very accommodating and professional. Did I mention a great musician too! We had so many compliments how the music made the party special. I may make this a new tradition!
.
Lee was just what we were looking for. Our event was based on an uncertain start time, and Lee was very patient and flexible. The music was perfect for our setting and Lee is very professional. I hope to work with Lee again in the future.

With his elegant, swinging and sophisticated style, Lee Glantz has been entertaining audiences in New York and all over the world for nearly twenty-five years. Lee is one of the premier singer-pianists on today's musical scene committed to keeping alive the songs of one of the richest eras in music history, known as the "The Great American Songbook". He also has a passion for the music of the more contemporary Masters Billy Joel and Elton John.
Born in the Bronx, raised in Queens, this native New Yorker's childhood home was filled with Broadway show music including the songs of The Gershwins, Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart and Irving Berlin just to name a few. Though in his teenage years Lee played in many rock 'n roll bands, it was his love and affinity for the extraordinary music of his childhood that ultimately became his passion.
After graduating from Queens College with a BA in theater, Lee moved to Manhattan and, in his late twenties, returned to his music and began to develop an audience playing in some of the most prestigious hotels, piano bars, restaurants and private event venues New York has to offer. He spent several winter seasons in Palm Beach where he performed at the renowned Leopard Lounge at The Chesterfield Hotel. Also in Palm Beach, Lee was the house pianist and vocalist for the inaugural season of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club. In Nantucket, Lee performed at The Chanticleer in Sconset as well as at other venues.
Lee performed his show "The Life and Music of Cole Porter" in New York, Toronto, Paris and The Hamptons on Long Island. In addition, he toured in France with his show "A Musical Journey Across America" singing songs such as "Stars Fell on Alabama", " I Left My Heart In San Francisco" and "Moonlight in Vermont" to take his audience on a musical tour around the United States.
In addition to performing in venues open to the public (see Performances), Lee continues to bring his considerable musical talents to many private events, solo or ensemble, in such venues as The St. Regis Hotel and at The Rainbow Room atop Rockefeller Center.
Keyboard provided if a piano is not available at event location.
