The Reimagined Solo Concert Experience!
Concerts & Conversation® brings a refreshing redefinition to today’s classical music presentation by incorporating an informal and entertaining commentary about the music, composers, and the creative forces surrounding both, into an absolutely first-rate solo piano concert.
Concerts & Conversation® successfully targets the widest demographics; its non-technical style at once stimulates and enhances the potential interest of the infrequent concertgoer, yet also contains the level of sophistication to further the insights of the connoisseur. Irregardless of venue size, this personable and relaxed approach brings the listener closer to the artist, music, and composers, and produces most importantly a complete entertainment experience for the audience.
Originally inaugurated through the Indiana Arts Commission's Individual Artist Fellowship, Concerts & Conversation® has been sponsored by the Touring Arts Programs of several state arts councils, sponsorship by Arts Midwest’s and Mid-America Arts Alliance’s Heartland Arts Fund, in addition to many other arts presenters and universities. It continues to enjoy a rapidly increasing level of popularity and presenter satisfaction with a 90% repeat booking rate, consistently generating above average attendance levels.
With the constant challenge of arts organization funding, it becomes increasingly important for presenters to select performance activities that maximize both their investment and community visibility. In recognition of this, Concerts & Conversation® bookings always include at no extra cost, school or community outreach activities wherever possible.
From the sonatas of Beethoven to the fascinating rhythms of George Gershwin to the Chopinesque overtones of Bill Evans, there’s a Concerts & Conversation® program to fit your audience profile. Let us complement your performing arts series with this outstanding entertainment experience ... after this, the solo concert will never be the same again!
