“Infectious passion”-L. A. Times

“O’Riley has found a tantalizing way to bridge the pop and classical , and judging from the standing ovation he got from the nearly full house, he already has won over many converts.”-Chicago Tribune

Chistopher O’Riley:  NPR Radio Host, PBS-TV Host and Classical Pianist Extrodinaire

As a prestigious artist, pianist and national media personality, Mr. O'Riley has dazzled the world over on stage, the radio, TV and his records. His memorable interpretations of traditional and popular repertoire make him a cherished bridge between musical tastes, genres and audiences worldwide.

Mr. O’Riley’s exquisite and poetic interpretations have granted him phenomenal reviews and several recording contracts with labels like Sony Classical. His warm personality has brought him to host NPR’s “From the Top” for the last 10 years. Christopher O’Riley differs from other artists in two ways:

-- First, his repertoire spans classical styles, from Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Chopin, Ravel and Busoni to contemporary artists such as Radiohead, Nirvana, Pink Floyd and Elliott Smith. He is the definition of a Classical Crossover artist. 

--Second, O’Riley 's unique, passionate and heartfelt piano interpretations of both classical and popular  music  create unforgettable musical performances and astonishing audience experiences.  His most famous recording, Radiohead “True Love Waits” album, was awarded four stars in Rolling Stone magazine, but more importantly, it has also created a dedicated and diverse fan base that appeals to all ages, uniting them through music.
