Four Hands Piano Concert: September and October 2021
with Graham Yates
I performed two four hands piano concerts with Graham Yates in September and October 2021.
On the first concert, we played my arrangement of On The Road Again, selections from Petrushka by Igor Stravinsky, and Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin. You can watch the first concert here.
On the second concert, we performed an arrangement of the overture from Candide by Leonard Bernstein, Ravel's Sonatine (a piano solo piece I played), the Mother Goose Suite also written by Ravel, and Graham's arrangement of Prokofiev's Piano Sonata No. 7 movement 3, Precipitato. You can watch the second concert here.
