2. Kaufman Music Center – Piano Dialogues: Anthony de Mare – LIAISONS

Conceived by acclaimed concert pianist Anthony de Mare, LIAISONS is a landmark commissioning and concert project that brings together todays leading classical, jazz, theater, film and indie composers to re-imagine Stephen Sondheims songs as solo piano pieces. This remarkable compendium of new music breaks open the boundaries between musical theater and concert music while making the case for Sondheim as one of todays most influential composers.Conrad Tao will join Mr. de Mare for the premiere of his two-piano work Move On, as well as a reprise of Steve Reichs Finishing the Hat Two Pianos.JEFF BEAL Not A Day Goes By (2019) PREMIERE(Merrily We Roll Along)STEPHEN HOUGH Pretty Lady: gymnopdie (2019) PREMIERE(Pacific Overtures)MARK BENNETT Everybody Says Dont (2019) PREMIERE(Anyone Can Whistle)PAOLA PRESTINI Always (2019) PREMIERE(after I Wish I Could Forget You Passion)MARC SCHUBRING Rhapsody in Red (2019) PREMIERE(after Goodbye for Now from Reds)ETHAN IVERSON Send in the Clowns (2011)(A Little Night Music)CHRISTOPHER CERRONE Kiss Me (2019) PREMIERE(Sweeney Todd)FREDERIC RZEWSKI Im Still Here (2012)(Follies)CONRAD TAO Move On (2019) PREMIERE(Sunday in the Park with George)STEVE REICH Finishing the Hat Two Pianos (2010)(Sunday in the Park with George)(with Conrad Tao, piano)DAVID RAKOWSKI The Ladies Who Lunch (2010)(Company)KEVIN PUTS Being Alive (2019) PREMIERE(Company)
