Kurt Metzger's Story
Music has always been a part of Kurt’s life. The century-old Steinway that his mother gave to him years ago is now tucked in the corner of his living room. “When I sit at that piano, I feel at home,” he says. From that grand instrument, Kurt has been writing powerful, passionate music for years.
Thousands of friends and fans have heard his music: piano solos, string quartets, choral works, and even full-scale theatrical productions. Kurt's annual holiday concert, The Warmest Christmas, has become a tradition for many families.
Of course, Kurt’s music would not be as rich and full as it is without the devotion of his wife and children. Their love for him, and his for them, enables him to compose from deep inside his heart. That strong mutual affection forms the core of his inspiration.
Kurt often sits at that piano his mother gave him, creating even more of the warm, passionate music he has become known for. You are invited to sit a while, too, and listen to the music of Kurt Metzger.
