Keys to the Future (From Hammers to Bytes)
Wednesday, March 31, 7:30
Known to most as a member of the Smithsonian Trio and Anne Sophie Mutter ’s accompanist, Lambert Orkis is also an accomplished soloist who explores the "outer reaches" of the piano literature. He presents an exhilarating new program that combines the powers of the acoustic piano and the Kurzweil synthesizer to expand the breadth of keyboard expression in works composed for him by James Primosch and Richard Wernick.
"Orkis is all over the piano, inside and out, contriving a performance of absorbing consequentiality and grace."
