Press Release Body = The classical music community is always on the look-out for a
rising sensation, and with the release of his latest CD, \"The Classic Romantic\",
concert pianist/composer Leonardo Le San provides selections of Beethoven, Scriabin,
Prokofiev and Liszt that are indicative of this emergence.

Leonardo Le San has a wide range of performance experience throughout the music
world and has gone on tour performing solo piano in South America through the fall
of 2006, sponsored by Export Corporations. During 2005 after the artist had
finished his University studies, Mr. Le San was asked to give a piano recital at
the Delaware Theater as the opening performer for acclaimed violinist and GRAMMY®
Nominated Artist, Regina Carter. And, recently during the Christie Awards 2006 the
executive directors distinguished Mr. Le San as \"the future of the arts,\" before a
very enthusiastic audience.

While performing a piano recital last year the artist was discovered by Chopin
authority, concert pianist, composer and theorist, Dr. Orlando Otey. Dr. Otey
selected Leonardo as the pianist with the right \"flair\" to take on the Chopin
heritage. Mr. Le San has tremendous passion for recording and performing, and has
had experiences collaborating in work-shops taught by prominent musicians such as
Sony-Classical producer and 2000 GRAMMY® Winner Andreas Mayer. Mr. Le San also
recorded works by Bach, Debussy and Prokofiev as final projects for Mr. Mayer\'s
pupils.

Mr. Le San has written two works for strings, flute and piano, one orchestral piece
for Soprano and Orchestra, some of his piano works are titled Noctazia,
Conversation, Incomprehensible, and Nocturne in E minor. He has also written two
compositions featuring Alto Saxophone accompanied by a large Jazz ensemble. Mr. Le
San has also performed live the first movement of the Rachmaninoff Concerto No. 3,
works by Beethoven, Liszt and many other great classical and romantic composers.

The artist has recorded two works with an ensemble as vocalist and composer with the
legendary Producer Louis Garcia who has done more than a thousand productions for
Sony, BMG and other record labels. These two works were given air-play in different
radio stations in the US, and Mr. Le San also performed on TV Channel 6 (ABC) in a
1999 broadcast.

The artist is currently dedicated to the performance and production of classical
works in partnership with the record company Ionian Productions, Inc.
