“ . . . live-streamed events have generated moments of startling power. . . . One could instead sample archived professional-quality videos that opera houses, orchestras, and other organizations have placed online. For me, though, the live or freshly recorded happenings matter more. They document, with the oblique power that the arts possess, an extraordinary human phase in history. Their mere existence is bracing. . . .”Alex RossThe New Yorker

The Artists

A pianist of “unerring, warm-toned refinement, revealing judicious glimmers of power” ~ Los Angeles Times

Pianist Robert Thies’s solo recitals are highly regarded by aficionados for his consummate musicianship and his sensitive artistic interpretations. Thies first captured worldwide attention in 1995 when he won the Gold Medal at the Second International Prokofiev Competition in St. Petersburg, Russia. Robert Thies enjoys a diverse career as an orchestral soloist, recitalist, and collaborative artist. A graduate of USC, his teachers have included Robert Turner and Daniel Pollack, both protégés of the legendary Russian teacher and pianist Madame Rosina Lhévinne and the great pianist Josef Lhévinne. Read about Robert Thies by clicking:

“What’s wonderful about watching Kerenza Peacock is that she’s so enthusiastic in everything she plays. And she combines her enthusiasm with some extremely fine playing.” ~ Nick Bailey, Classic FM

English violinist Kerenza Peacock is a musical wanderer - equally at home playing classical selections by Mozart and Brahms as she is performing new works or playing with the world’s most famous pop stars. Kerenza trained at the Royal Academy of Music and was leader of the Pavao Quartet for 15 years, recording five albums and touring the world. Kerenza was appointed an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music for making “a significant contribution to the music industry.” Read about Kerenza Peacock by clicking:

A. Music critic Richard S. Ginell’s review on SFCV
     “Terry Riley at 90: A Minimalist Pioneer’s Greatest Hits at The Ford”
     
https://bit.ly/SFCV-RichardSGinell009

     Richard Ginell writes, “At The Ford on Sunday evening (Sept. 7),
     we hurtled back in time with members of the Bang on a Can All-Stars
     and several friends to the 1960s to purportedly hear how Riley
     originally broke through.”
