Distinguished pianist Jeffrey Siegel returns to Three Stages on Friday, Aug. 24 on the heels of his well-received series of lecture performances last season.
“Keyboard Conversation” promises an exciting exploration of some of the best-loved works in the classical canon.
The program will include performance and commentary on works by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Grieg, Gershwin, de Falla, Rimsky-Korsakov and others.
Three Stages Executive Director Dave Pier noted, “Mr. Siegel’s audience is so broad — he can engage everyone from the most avid music lover to the inquisitive newcomer — we’re proud to bring him back to Three Stages. With his considerable experience as a concert pianist, his succinct commentary, and a brisk question and answer session, he gives his fans a memorable evening every time.”
Siegel’s “Keyboard Conversations” are a unique, concert-plus-commentary format in which he speaks to the audience about the music before performing each work in its entirety.
Newcomers to classical concerts have greeted these programs enthusiastically. Siegel has also developed a following among seasoned music-lovers, who are constantly enlightened by his erudition and delighted by his wit.
He has been soloist with the world’s great orchestras.
In the United States, engagements include the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, The Philadelphia Orchestra, The Cleveland Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra and Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Siegel has collaborated with many of the pre-eminent conductors of our time: Claudio Abbado, Pierre Boulez, Charles Dutoit, Neeme Järvi, James Levine, Lorin Maazel, Zubin Mehta, Leonard Slatkin, Michael Tilson Thomas and David Zinman, as well as legendary maestros of the past, including Eugene Ormandy, Sir George Solti, William Steinberg, Klaus Tennstedt and Yevgeny Svetlanov.
