Next Tuesday evening, Oct. 1, two “rock stars of the classical world,” as described the by Miami Herald, will perform at UNCG’s Tew Recital Hall, in one of the first University Concert and Lecture Series events for 2019-20.
Tickets are available for the piano duo, Greg Anderson and Elizabeth Joy Roe, known as “Anderson and Roe.”
They will also appear in a presentation on the day after the concert, Oct. 2 at 1 p.m. in the Music Building, which is open to the campus community.
Anderson and Roe have played with countless symphony orchestras, from Rochester to San Francisco, and have toured extensively overseas. Their Emmy-nominated, self-produced music videos have been viewed by millions on YouTube and at international film festivals. They have appeared on MTV’s Total Request Live, NPR’s All Things Considered and From the Top, APM’s Performance Today, PBS’ Texas Music Cafe, and BBC’s In Tune.
The performers met at The Juilliard School as freshmen before earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees. They performed the world premiere of their own composition, Star Wars Fantasy: Four Impressions for Two Pianos, in Juilliard’s “Cinema Serenades” concert at Alice Tully Hall. They directed the project “Life between the Keys,” which involved the entire Juilliard Piano Class of 2004.
