Eric Barnhill is a champion of improvisation in classical styles, seeking and inventing ways to speak new thoughts in the great musical language of the past. A graduate of the Juilliard School in piano performance and the Dalcroze School of New York, Eric Barnhill has performed both solo improvisations and in improvisational collaborations with dance and theater. Recent concerts featuring his improvisations include performances at Longy School of Music, DePauw University School of Music, and the Institut Jaques-Dalcroze in Geneva, Switzerland. He publishes the Internet blog The Daily Improvisation which presents near-daily recordings of improvised music in classical styles. He is also the creator of Cognitive Eurhythmics, a method of music-movement neuromotor education for children with special needs, and on the faculty of the Special Music School for musically gifted children and Mannes College of Music. As classical recitalist he has performed in concert halls from Maine to California as well as concerts in Canada, France, Italy and Portugal.
