In the area of performance, Ken has a unique combination of performance experience in the three major areas of music: classical (serious music), sacred (gospel music), and popular music. Ken began his studies of the piano at age 6 and organ at age 10. While in college he studied piano under the protégé of Artur Rubinstein and was the only undergraduate student to be associate conductor of the university orchestra. Upon receiving dual BS degrees, Ken studied music composition with noted American composer Aaron Copland. Dr. Mahood's achievements include performances for Billy Graham Crusades, Ambassadors of the Organization of American States (OAS), before members of the United Nations, Vice President Nelson Rockefeller and US President George Bush. In area of popular music, Ken has performed with Andy Williams, Pat Boone, Tony Bennett, and many others. From 1980 until 1990, Dr Mahood presented his own unique concert series, "Chosen to Live". This highly acclaimed series featured Ken performing significant classical and sacred works interwoven with his own real life trauma as one of the most successful kidney transplant recipients over 33 years ago.
