Highlights from the Press
"New works for solo piano, usually tucked into recitalists' standard-repertory programs, are the entire focus of this groundbreaking festival... a remarkable lineup of contemporary and late twentieth-century works."
Alex Ross, The New Yorker
"I may have been imagining a collective sigh of relief, but something seemed to be whispering in my ear that the Dark Ages of postwar atonality were over and tentative reconnections to the past were under way."
Bernard Holland, The New York Times
"A wonderful survey of recent and lesser known piano compositions, admirably performed throughout with attention and intense emotion... a program rich in compelling melodic and textural content." Jeff Harrington, Sequenza 21
"Keys to the Future offers a varied and wonderful program which is opening the future to our ears."
David Garland, WNYC 93.9FM
