BOOKING

This is the "organaire" that Deanna started practicing on when she began taking piano lessons at the age of nine. While she enjoys playing keyboard instruments, she does require a recently tuned piano for booking engagements!

For booking related inquires, send an email to booking@deannawitkowski.com.

Deanna is available for:

•performances (in clubs, churches, and schools)

We were thrilled to witness the artistry, inspiration and creativity of the Deanna Witkowski Trio on Wheaton's campus.  Deanna's trio brought the best in jazz to us on a special evening.

Seeing the kinetic event of Deanna's music is reserved for the fortunate at live concerts. But hearing the extraordinary vitality of her piano and her voice is open to all. In works fresh from her own creative spirit, Deanna is in touch with some muse in the depths which she meets and makes known to us all.

-Rev. Stephen Phelps, Buffalo, NY

•clinics

At least three times yearly, our high school invites national jazz artists to perform with our students. Deanna is the most talented musician we have EVER brought in. WOW! What a musician. Deanna's ears and chops are off the charts. Music flows from her as effortlessly as air. Being a school that emphasizes student composition, we were enthralled with her original work: fresh and interesting.

While in Williamsville, she presented a workshop on Latin music that was superb. The students and faculty learned a ton and were tremendously inspired. Few major performers have her capacity to communicate with such eloquence and clarity. Our students played Latin music better that year than we had before or since and I am certain it was because of her visit.  

Deanna is a beautiful person, uncommonly kind and gracious. In a summary report, a student wrote that Deanna was the warmest and most genuine guest that we have ever had in Williamsville. My students absolutely loved her!
