KNOWN FOR THEIR ADRENALIZED PERFORMANCES, original compositions and Emmy-nominated videos, Greg Anderson and Elizabeth Joy Roe are revolutionizing the piano duo experience for the 21st century.
The 2014-2015 Grace Goudy Distinguished Artists Series is truly excited to present the Anderson and Roe Duo as the first event of its season.
Described as “the intense synchronization of genius” (ThirdCoast Digest) and “the most dynamic duo of this generation” (San Francisco Classical Voice), the duo aims to make classical music a relevant and powerful force around the world. Of a recent performance, Backtrack writes “Believe all the hype! … They are electric. At Galapagos Art Space in Brooklyn this piano duo did more than celebrate the launch of their new album: they fashioned an entirely new concert experience.”
Highlights of their upcoming season include a worldwide tour and promotion of their new release, An Amadeus Affair. Together they have appeared on MTV’s Total Request Live, NPR’s All Things Considered, and From the Top, and at dozens of summer chamber music festivals including the Portland Piano International series.
Their program for the Grace Goudy Distinguished Artists Series will include Mozart, Radiohead, Ligeti, Ravel and many other delights. Please join us for an evening of great music-making and immense fun!
