“ . . . 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 Ross, The New Yorker

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

“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

II. Reviews and Other Items of High Interest
on the Southland Chamber Music Scene
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.”
