About

Dino was born on July 20, 1942 in New York City and attended Glad Tidings Tabernacle. He began playing his grandmother's piano at the age of three. The first song he had learned was At the Cross. He was enrolled in piano lessons at age five. Dino received his professional training at The King's College as well as the Juilliard School of Music. For many years he served as pianist for the evangelist Kathryn Kuhlman. Dino has traveled extensively and produced well over 50 recordings on his own as well as mainstream labels. He has worked with various evangelists (such as Kathryn Kuhlman) and is well known in Christian circles. Dino has hosted two television shows, the Dino and Debby Show in the 1970s with his wife Deborah and The Dino Show presently, which runs weekly on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. He has also appeared on QVC, beginning in 2000. Dino has described his style as combining the classical and the sacred. His technique has been described as fluid and brilliant. Many of his works are religion-based and/or contemporary remakes of classical music works. Dino also performs annually in his own show in Branson, Missouri, United States. When in Branson, Kartsonakis attends James River Assembly in Ozark, Missouri. Among his proudest accomplishments is production of what is known as the "Peace Series", a collection of CDs featuring more subdued piano arrangements against a backdrop of nature sounds.
