CAREER
PERFORMANCE Walt
Wagner has been featured for two years at the Lionel Hampton
Jazz Festival at University of Idaho, and performed the
opening pair of concerts in a new U of I series, "Four Seasons
of Jazz". He has performed with Jay Leno, Bill Cosby, Bob
Hope, George Burns, Lily Tomlin, Roberta Flack, Sammy Davis,
Jr., Bob Newhart, and as pianist-conductor with Peggy Lee. He
toured internationally with Peggy Fleming in “A Concert On
Ice”, and has performed extensively at Sun Valley, Idaho.
TELEVISION Wagner’s
guest appearances include The Tonight Show, Merv Griffin, and
an Andy Williams & Peggy Fleming special from Madison Square
Garden. Wagner’s own TV special, “The Walt Wagner Show”, aired
worldwide.
COMPOSING A
prolific composer, Walt writes much of the music for his concert
and club appearances, and increasingly is writing works in the
classical category. He premiered “Rhythms - for Piano, Winds &
Percussion”, performing as soloist with the Washington Wind
Symphony, conducted by Gene Aitken. Another commission was a
piano concerto, “The Miracle - for Piano & Orchestra”, which was
recorded with Gerard Schwarz conducting The Seattle Symphony
Orchestra, again with Wagner as soloist (see below). He also
writes all his own big-band arrangements for jazz performances
as well as orchestrations for “pops”-style concerts with
symphony orchestras.
