The Chopin Variations (on piano, violin and cello) by Chad Lawson Chad Lawson : The Chopin Variations (on piano, violin and cello).
 Multi-award winning pianist and composer who is not afraid to put his hat in anything.

Steinway artist, Chad Lawson, decided Frederic Chopin needed a new introduction. Along with violinist Judy Kang (Lady Gaga, Ryuichi Sakamoto) and cellist Rubin Kodheli (Kanye West, Courtney Love), Lawson has arranged ten Chopin works into a modern day interpretation. It's a risk editing the "poet of the piano" but one that Chopin would be proud of.

Lawson's previous release, "The Space Between", debuted at #12 on Amazon's Adult Contemporary while Olafur Arnalds named it in his Top 5 of 2013. Prior to, The Space Between, Lawson's release, The Piano (2011), reached #19 on iTunes Classical. Chad has been a featured guest on NPR's Talk of the Nation, PRI/SiriusXM's Bob Edwards Show, toured with Julio Iglesias and can be heard on Delta Airlines In-Flight radio programming.
