With virtuosity and an unparalleled elegance rarely seen today by young artists, Deborrah’s grasp of both performance and composition suggests a formal and credentialed background. In truth, with just a modest foundation of childhood piano lessons behind her, it was her passion to play that found her performing as much as she could in restaurants, hotels, and nursing homes, until her talents caught the attention of national media. She has appeared on Fox, NBC, and ABC television, as well as numerous radio programs, and now tours regularly throughout the U.S.

Her love of ragtime music started at an early age and since then, many other genres have been explored as well. Composing came spontaneously inspired in the spring of 2006 with her first composition “The Atmosphere”, which is included in her CD “The Beginning”. These modern classical compositions contain distinct jazz colors. Weaving seamlessly in and out of the two styles with mesmerizing and refreshingly unexpected musical turns and textures, Deborrah Wyndham opens a new world of timeless, hauntingly beautiful music.

Deborrah’s Bass Hall performance will feature a collection of ragtime pieces, from well-known classics, to more obscure numbers, and a rich program of her own compositions.

“An artist like Deborrah only comes along once in a lifetime…” Dr. Frank Corbett Jr. – CNET Review

“blows me away…spellbinding” Aimsel Ponti – The Portland Press Herald

“Wyndham never gives less than an inspired performance…with genuine emotion and succulent beauty.” Vivian Fields – Midnight Jazz

“…radiates with the soulfulness of jazz…there is a crystalline elegance to her playing.” Julian Wilson – Trans Europe Xpress

“Deborrah Wyndham both soothes and electrifies the ear with her dynamic sense of rhythm and melody…This is not audio window dressing, but a soundtrack in sync with the pulse of human emotion…a spellbinding pianist” Kyrby Raine – INK 19

“Deborrah Wyndham slices away the cookie-cutter syndrome which has often infected contemporary pianists…she can play with technical precision but it is the vibrant personality of her performances that stands out…she goes the extra mile to ensure that the music is given its own touch, drawing upon classical and jazz inspirations with the vivid imagination of a talented painter.” R.M. Sutton – All About Jazz

“Versatile Deborrah Wyndham is a musical breath of fresh air. Her playing moves so comfortably from genre to genre and her original compositions evoke a big-heartedness and sophisticated elegance. Drop everything if you have an opportunity to see her!” Glenn Jenks – Ragtime Pianist/Composer
