Levine Music and Steinway Piano Gallery – Washington, DC invite you to an evening with pianist Greg Anderson.
Greg Anderson is a concert pianist, composer, and filmmaker whose performances have reached four continents and whose recordings have spent more than a dozen weeks at the top of the Billboard classical charts. The Washington Post has called him and his duo partner “the very model of complete 21st-century musicians.”
The program, “Time Unraveled,” does something no conventional recital can. Anderson performs on a Steinway Model D and a Steinway Spirio | r — a piano that records a performance down to the smallest gradation of touch and pedal, then plays it back on its own keys. During the performance, the Spirio becomes a second musician: it answers Anderson, argues with him, and, at one point, plays a recording of Anderson at age eight so he can perform a duet with his younger self.
The program spans four centuries: Bach’s Inventions fold into Ligeti. A Mozart duet from “Don Giovanni” is passed among 35 composers, each of whom wrote variations on it. Radiohead’s “Paranoid Android” becomes a duel between flesh and circuitry. Anderson speaks between pieces, offering context before each work is performed. A Q&A will follow the performance.
This private performance is open to Levine piano students and faculty. Seating is limited, and a reception will follow the performance.
RSVP
This is a private event limited to Levine piano students (and their families), and faculty.
