Eric Genuis is a Canadian composer and musician who now lives in Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.
He is noted for his Concerts for Hope. He performs his original compositions more than a hundred times a year.[1]
Genuis was born in Toronto, Canada on March 13, 1967. He earned a degree in piano performance from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Canada. He also studied to become a math and physics teacher.
He is known for playing in prisons, hospitals, rehab centres, nursing homes and inner-city schools.[2] He started playing in prisons when he was invited to a maximum security prison. He feels music brings humanity and beauty to places lacking in these virtues.[3]
He has performed across the world in countries including the United States, Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Peru, Poland and Slovakia.[4]
In February 2019 Genuis began his second tour of Australia playing in Corrimal, New South Wales and Windang, New South Wales.[5]
