Glenn Amer was born in Sydney and studied at the Conservatorium of Music. Invited to London at the age of thirteen to participate in the studios of Geoffrey Parsons (piano) and Erich Vietheer (voice), Glenn flew to London alone and had a wonderful time! This was the beginning of his love of international travel and to this date, Glenn has visited over 70 countries, some of them multiple times.
Glenn is a Headline Entertainer on all the great cruise lines. Touring with these companies has taken him all over the world and extensively throughout Australia. His unique style of piano playing has proved extremely popular with audiences who are also impressed with his rich and powerful voice.
He has been on staff of the Australian National Academy of Music, the Australian Institute of Music, Pacific Opera (as Artistic and Musical Director), and Opera Australia (as both conductor and pianist). He was also head of Piano at the Hume Conservatorium.
A unique entertainer, Glenn Amer is the only artist in the history of recordings to have made acoustically recorded cylinders, pianola rolls and compact disks. His recordings have been released on Mastertouch Piano Rolls, Cylinders on The Vulcan Phonograph Company, and CDs on the EMI, Sony DSD, Ambition, Fanfare, Cre8ion, and ABC Classics labels.
Glenn’s latest release, The Great Piano Showman is now available at all JB Hifi stores.
