    Narushchen Sunrise: Best Original Music From His Morning Ballet Classes
    A San Francisco Ballet pianist unveils his dazzling 51-track ballet class CD of original music that, consciously or not, nods to the French and jazz composers he’s been playing in recent classes.
    Listed on CD Baby’s “Top Albums” list in 2008 & 2009 and favorably reviewed in past Dance Magazine issues, San Francisco Ballet pianist Jamie Narushchen unveils his new, 51-track ballet class CD of original music that is a must-have this fall! About Narushchen Sunrise: Best Original Music From His Morning Ballet Classes: Before he starts his day at SF Ballet, Jamie Narushchen rises early to play and improvise music for a morning ballet class at a nearby dance studio. Known for his vast harmonic vocabulary and punchy rhythms, it’s no surprise that Narushchen produced another 51 tracks in less than a year. Whether it’s exercises that roll on ragtime syncopation or harmonies that echo Ravel and Bill Evans, Narushchen Sunrise offers some of Jamie’s most spirited improvisations that were captured live during the recording. Notes: Exercises are printed on the back of the case and on its one-page CD insert. A Hamburg Steinway concert grand piano was used during the recording.

He studied piano performance at Johns Hopkins' Peabody Conservatory, and he joined The San Francisco Ballet as an accompanist shortly after moving out west. His strong interest in improvisation led him to take additional coursework in composition at The San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Throughout his twenty-four years at SF Ballet, he has regularly provided accompaniment for the West Coast auditions held by The American Ballet Theatre, The Julliard School, The Boston Ballet and others. He also enjoys the opportunity to play for Mark Morris's and Suzanne Farrell's classes when they visit the Bay Area. When he's not playing the piano, he's usually at home playing with his kids.
