CRYSTAL FALLS -- Grammy Award winning musician Patrick Leonard will perform a piano concert in his hometown of Crystal Falls this weekend.

Leonard has been in the music business for over 40 years, collaborating with artists such as Madonna, Sir Elton John, and Michael Jackson.

As a sign of his love for the city, Leonard donated his nine foot baby grand piano to the Crystal Theater, which he'll be playing on stage Saturday night at 7 p.m.

"It's here because I love this place, and having played the piano that's here a couple years ago, I thought it would be nice to play this piano," said Leonard.

Leonard says you can expect a program of improvisation, popular arrangements, and songs performed with the Lawrence University Orchestra.

Tickets are $12 in advance and they're on sale at Ben Franklin's in Crystal Falls, Central Arts and Gifts, and the Iron County Chamber office in Iron River, Steamin' Joes in Florence, Wisconsin, and The Music Tree in Iron Mountain.

Tickets are $15 at the door, and all children will be $5 sold at the door only.  You can also purchase tickets online.
