Release Date: August 22, 2025
Two-time Grammy® Award-winning and multi-platinum-selling pianist and composer Peter Kater is set to unveil his latest studio album, Untethered Heart, on August 22, 2025. A deeply cinematic and emotionally resonant journey, the album pairs Kater’s signature solo piano with lush orchestral arrangements — inviting listeners into a soundscape of release, transformation, and renewal.
Renowned for his pioneering role in contemporary instrumental and New Age music, Kater’s influence spans more than four decades. With 14 Grammy nominations (and two wins) to his name, he has released over 70 critically acclaimed albums, scored more than 100 film and television projects, and composed for 11 On- and Off-Broadway productions. From Carnegie Hall to the Olympic Games, his music has transcended borders — reaching hearts around the world.
A Journey Toward Liberation
Described by Kater as both a “culmination and a threshold,” Untethered Heart is a meditation on the power of letting go and stepping into the unknown. With every note, the album expresses the emotional strength that can be found in surrender — and the freedom of unbinding oneself from past limitations.
“With every note, it reflects the liberation found in letting go and the strength discovered in surrender… to an Untethered Heart.” — Peter Kater
Whether you’re seeking stillness, introspection, or simply a moment of sonic beauty, this album offers an immersive listening experience for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
