The PSU Steinway Piano Series is proud to announce its 2021 feature artist, the internationally celebrated and “uncommonly elegant pianist,” (The New York Times) Anton Nel. An acclaimed interpreter and former first prize winner of the Naumburg International Piano Competition at Carnegie Hall, Nel performs with “a beautifully weighted tone and a nearly flawless legato.”(Chicago Tribune) Through the PSU Steinway Piano Series, Nel will star in a solo concert on May 1st featuring a beautifully balanced, one-of-a-kind program of music by Bach, Mozart, Debussy and Granados, preceded by a masterclass on April 30th.

Designed to maximize the at home listening experience and spread the joy of world class piano performance, both events on this season’s PSU Steinway Piano Series are open to the public,  free with RSVP, and will be available for viewing on PSU’s YouTube channel for 72 hours following their initial broadcast.

U of O School of Music: Lara Downes Virtual Residency: Piano Master Class and Discussion “Music by Female BIPOC Composers”

May 21, 2021 @ 10:00 am

Free Registration required.

webinar

These workshops will be the culminating events involving students from the MUE 473/573 Piano Pedagogy class and teachers from the Eugene chapter of the Oregon Music Teachers Association (OMTA). In advance of the events, UO piano students and local Eugene piano students will learn pieces by black female composers including Florence Price and Margaret Bonds. The master class will feature students performing the works for Ms. Downes, who will teach a class on how to perform and teach this music. This project will help UO piano pedagogy students and OMTA teachers to learn more about music written by these composers, how to discover more BIPOC music for teaching, and encourage inclusion of these composers in the teaching repertoire. 

This event will also utilize the Yamaha Disklavier, an acoustic player piano that can reproduce every nuance of a performance and stream it remotely. As a Yamaha artist, Ms. Downes will teach the master class remotely from a Yamaha Disklavier at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and participating students will perform from a corresponding Yamaha Disklavier at the UO School of Music and Dance.
