For more than 40 years this extraordinary pianist has been touring the U.S. and the world, charming audiences with his remarkable musical talents and convivial personality, while sharing fascinating stories about some of the most beloved music in the classical repertoire. In his trademark Keyboard Conversations format, Siegel performs the works in their entirety and provides an historical context for each piece. In this performance, he explores the cherished music of America’s most celebrated composers in a program including Gershwin’s rarely heard solo piano arrangement of Rhapsody in Blue, Aaron Copland’s humorous The Cat and the Mouse, Scott Joplin’s Wall Street Rag, Leonard Bernstein’s touching Anniversary, and his unpublished Meditation on a Wedding. “Jeffrey Siegel has everything: massive technique, musical sensitivity and character, wide tonal resources, immense reserves of power, and the ability to communicate.” (Los Angeles Times)
