Luke Raffanti

Luke Raffanti is a musician based in Seattle, WA, where he has resided since 2017. He teaches private piano lessons at his home studio, and plays piano and organ for a progressive church. He was fortunate to study piano at a good conservatory with excellent teachers. In his free time he studies voice–he is training as an operatic tenor with Davida Kagen and recently performed the role of Basilio in selections of Marriage of Figaro. Besides solo piano, he often collaborates with opera singers. His earliest musical memories were of Marvin Gaye and Bob Marley, whose albums his parents often played to keep the sads away when they were living in rainy New Zealand. He is delighted to return to FPC for a second holiday season concert.
