Jeffrey Siegel Keyboard Conversations: The Romanticism of the Russian Soul

March 26, 2003

7:30pm
$23.00 - $26.00

The program for "The Romanticism of the Russian Soul" includes works such as rhapsodic Preludes of Rachmaninoff, the mystical Sonata No. 4 of Scriabin and the picturesque Fairy Tales of Nikolai Medtner.

Keyboard Conversations is a concert format in which Siegel offers insightful commentary to the audience about the music before performing it in its entirety and captivating audiences with the sounds of a Steinway grand piano. Siegel discusses each of the pieces he plays, including enough musicology and anecdotes about the composers that both music novices and seasoned listeners will be entertained.

Siegel’s visit to Colorado is only one stop on his concert tour. His Keyboard Conversations Series plays in such cities as New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Dallas, Cleveland, Phoenix, Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Atlanta. Siegel has appeared with every major orchestra in the United States and many abroad and also has made appearances at the Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall. This is Siegel’s final concert in his 15th anniversary Keyboard Conversations series at the Arvada Center.
