Weekend of November 19, 2011

Anderson & Roe

The days of a demure piano duo, each sitting motionless and politely covering half of a piano keyboard, are over. Enter the Anderson & Roe Piano Duo. Hands fly, arms tangle, and torsos collide as Greg Anderson and Elizabeth Joy Roe attack the keyboard. Anderson & Roe will be in the PT studios, playing their unique arrangements of music by Rachmaninoff and Astor Piazzolla.
