Thornton Pianos announce The Superior Sessions album, in aid of Minding Creative Minds

If you’re looking for a way to support both mental health causes and the local music industry this Christmas, Thornton Pianos have come up with the perfect answer: an album of brilliant Irish talent raising funds for Minding Creative Minds – the 24/7 wellbeing and mental health support line for everyone involved in music.

As you can imagine, Thornton Pianos have witnessed huge changes in the music industry during their 53 years in business – what’s encouraging, however, is that the piano has remained as reliable and central a component as ever, in modern music. With their eyes on the next 50-plus years,Thornton Pianos have introduced the superb Ritmüller range to their portfolio. For the uninitiated, Ritmüller have been making waves in the piano industry across the globe since 2014: they really are very special.

You can hear for yourself just how good the Ritmüller sound is on The Superior Sessions, which is set for release on December 18 via Bandcamp. Since September, Thornton Pianos has been providing a performance space for some of the country’s best emerging musicians, under the banner of The Superior Sessions. Recorded live with the exceptional sound of Ritmüller pianos, the resulting album features the talents of artists like Nathan Mac, Jacon Koopman, Megan Burke, Gemma Cox and Colm Gavin. It is a collection that’s not to be missed.

The Superior Sessions album is out on December 18 for €6.99 on Bandcamp, and will also be available on all major streaming services. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Minding Creative Minds.
