From an MSP Traveler

***I was just speaking to Heidi and thanking her for her beautiful music. I could hear the music and I followed it until I found her. An oasis in the midst of busyness! I was mentioning how I've been noticing so many people's reaction to her music and I said I would love to thank whomever was responsible for her being here. It has turned my time here into a lovely thing rather than a boring waste of time. Thanks again to Heidi and you.***

***Dear Heidi, I met you this past January in the Minneapolis/StPaul airport coming home for my Mom’s 76th birthday. I bought your CD for her and I want to tell you how much we love it!!! She and I listened to it together while catching up on things that night for her birthday. It was so special and your music really touched our hearts with warmth. Your piano music is just Beautiful, just like you!***

I’m sorry it’s taken me this long to tell you.

Thank you so much for your gift of music!

I love it!

God bless you Heidi!***

"Of all the people I've heard play, not one of them is as Expressive as You! I don't know how you do it, but it's an expression that's
really beautiful." (Roger)

Heidi's unique touch on the keys and the staggered rhythm of beautiful melodies tug at your heartstrings, evoking memories of the most poignant times of your life. Her playing also brings out inspired understanding of the depth and complexity of piano and cello, on their own and in harmony with each other. Your heart will sing and dance, and maybe even weep a little.... but you will never tire of listening and reflecting....and creating new memories. Heidi's music truly touches your very soul.

"I Love your CD! I listen to it all day. I am bettered because of it ~ ...but isn't that what great music is all about?!" (Mark Jordan)

It is truly a delight to listen to Heidi's "Here I Am" CD. I enjoy her variety of styles, and I noted that she had written and/or arranged five of the pieces. Her use of backup musicians is balanced, and adds a nice touch. Her technique and elegant expression are superb. There is a magical quality such that the piano itself is an expression of the artist. Very well done! (Gary Kauffman)

“Reaching People From the Piano”

~ My Story ~

The counsel of my youth became my life’s belief:

“You can’t do anything with your Piano”.

So, despite playing for ensembles, soloists, orchestras, theater productions, and graduating with a B.A. in Music & El. Ed. from Bethel College, my piano was now behind me. I sadly closed it up. I was married and had 2 beautiful kids, but believing that it was without value, I never played my piano anymore.

Struggling to find personal meaning and direction for my life, 14 years later (2012) I opened it up again. Though I was overweight and unrehearsed, friends that knew me encouraged me to ‘find a venue’ and get out there and play! I had joined Weight Watchers, and I began to volunteer my music at Senior Communities. After losing 50#, I found my way to the piano at Von Maur, where I was affectionately referred to as the “Lorie Line of Von Maur”. Strengthened by these transforming experiences, I began writing my own music and recorded 2 CD’s, before auditioning to be a featured musician at MSP. 💜

My repertoire is versatile across genres: Contemporary, Classical, Light Jazz, and Pop, and I’m often drawn to music that communicates, as if ‘telling a story’. I’m a Lyrical pianist, where I ‘sing the lyrics with my fingers’. Others tell me this lyrical style is ‘that something special’ that sets me apart, and that I “bring such life to those keys!”

Currently I like to Write and Arrange music (please ask me about my Classical Hymn arrangements) and I feel immensely blessed to be able to contribute my music to this maturing journey of life. I love to Reach People from the Piano, and make connections with all of you at events such as Weddings, Dinners, Church Services, Reunions, or Real Estate Open Houses. As long as I have a presence in the community, and people enjoy my music, I will keep on playing, connecting, and celebrating life with gratitude. And maybe I’ll actually get to meet Lorie Line someday!
