“It was a joy to see Tomasson’s 1990 “Valses Poeticos” played by the outstanding pianist Ronny Michael Greenberg.”
Ronny Michael Greenberg is a pianist, producer, and musical visionary whose artistry has illuminated stages from Carnegie Hall to Vienna’s Konzerthaus. As founder and CEO of Taste of Talent, a nonprofit redefining cultural programming through innovative, multi-sensory experiences, he has established himself as a leading figure in the performing arts.
Among his producer credits are Opera Aloha, a Pacific concert tour blending opera with Hawaiian musical traditions; TILT, Grace Cathedral’s annual summer solstice concert; the Bay Area’s iconic Halloween concert Death By Aria; Merola Opera Program’s Gala; and special performances at Filoli Historic House & Gardens.
Ronny celebrated the centennial of Rhapsody in Blue with performances across the Bay Area, including a full orchestral concert with Festival Napa Valley conducted by Ming Luke, and a string quintet version at Grace Cathedral with the Telegraph Quartet, bassist Charles Chandler, and mezzo-soprano and aerialist Nikola Printz. The centennial tribute also included a solo tour of Bay Area schools and senior homes.
He curates and emcees the music for San Francisco Opera Guild’s annual Evening on the Stage, which has included tributes to Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi and Paul Pelosi, and is excited to return in that role for the 2025 celebration honoring Maria Manetti Shrem.
As a performer, producer, curator, educator, and artistic partner, Ronny has collaborated with institutions including San Francisco Opera, San Francisco Ballet, Festival Napa Valley, Merola Opera Program, Hawai’i Opera Theatre, Hawai’i Performing Arts Festival, Collaborative Arts Institute of Chicago, and Music at Kohl Mansion.
In summer 2025, he leads Merola Opera Program’s A Grand Night for Singing: An American Song Fest, returns to the faculty of Festival Napa Valley’s Manetti Shrem Opera Program, and curates the sixth edition of TILT at Grace Cathedral alongside legendary soprano Leah Crocetto.
Through all his work, Ronny is passionate about breaking boundaries of genre and culture, creating spaces for connection, collaboration, and artistic freedom.
