Concert 1
3 soloists, 2 pianos, 6 hands... Who could ask for anything more?
A mad dash of 30 fingers over 176 keys, a tidal wave of notes, a floor keyboard. How can the music of Stravinsky, Gershwin, Poulenc, Michael Jackson and Coldplay coexist within the same concert? Anderson and Roe, called “the most dynamic piano duo of this generation,” and award-winning piano prodigy Clayton Stephenson will provide the answers in this piano-centric concert that will push the instrument to the absolute limit.
