Pianist David Lanz's fifth annual holiday concert at 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 15, at The Amadeus Project, 1209 Cornwall Ave., will benefit two local organizations this year - Sustainable Connections and the Pickford Film Center, which is up against a $225,000 digital bill to stay current.

Lanz is also celebrating the release of two CDs: "Joy Noel," his new holiday recording, and "Cristofori's Dream: Reinvisioned," the 25th solo piano anniversary edition of his No. 1 Billboard recording. The concert will also include some of his classic pieces. Tickets are $20 and $25 at the door.
