The Genesis Piano Project is NOT another tribute band, but classic Genesis tunes interpreted on classical piano. Supported by the stunning clarinet and piano duo the Dark Moon Ensemble, this will be a terrific evening at Piano Smithfield, a classy and exclusive piano bar located near the Barbican.

GENESIS PIANO PROJECT came to fruition when US pianists Angelo Di Loreto and Adam Kromelow met as classmates at the Manhattan School of Music.
The vast compositions of Genesis have diverse song structures that switch effortlessly from haunting, whispered melodies to intense rock-outs. Hearing the arrangements of the Genesis Piano Project can at times sound like classical piano music, but at others can make audiences feel as if they are listening to a live rock band.
This project has captivated audiences, both Genesis fans and newcomers alike, performing at some of the best Steinway Piano showrooms and galleries in the United States. Their videos soon attained international recognition and have now accumulated over 1 million views.
In 2015, the Genesis Piano Project released their first live EP entitled Live in Italy. And in October of 2021, they released their first full-length album which was recorded at the Charterhouse School in Godalming, England - the boarding school where the members of Genesis attended as teenagers and formed the band. Very sadly, Angelo passed away in 2020, and since then Adam has carried on the project as a solo act in Angelo's loving memory.
