Lisa has two brand new solo piano CD's, ?Christmas for Two? and ?A Delicate Balance?, which are set for formal release in November 2009.

Lisa's collection of original solo piano compositions are accessible, melodic, and reflective, and might be classified as "Neo Classical," "New Age," or in her words... "Piano Impressionism." Her style might be compared with Liz Story, Peter Kater, or George Winston.

Ms. Downing is a talented and experienced in concert performer who completed an Arizona concert series with Liz Story in the fall of 2008, and with Lee Bartley, (of "Images" fame) in the spring of 2009.

Lisa's Holiday CD, "Christmas for Two," offers traditional holiday music with original solo piano arrangements. The melodies however, are still familiar and recognizable to her audience.
