En Route to Cyprus

We're currently headed to Cyprus where we're premiering Nicolas Costantinou's "For Whom? -- Paraphrase and Additions on an Overly Played Tune." It's a fun, fantastic piece that we're excited to perform, and we're honored that he chose to dedicate the piece to us. For all those in the area (or all those with friends or family in the area), join us in Cyprus on September 21 and 22.

Turtle Stayin' Alive

It's our new music video -- "Stayin' Alive," the classic 1970s hit, as interpreted by the Anderson & Roe Piano Duo. Due to the slow tempos that recur throughout our version, we have dubbed this piece "Turtle Stayin' Alive," a nod to the "Tortoises" movement of Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals (which slows down the "Can-Can," another popular dance tune).

Recital at the Juilliard School

After an exciting and exhausting evening, Greg and Liz completed an event that had been two years in the making: a four-hand/one-piano recital designed expressly for the concert stage. The two assaulted The Rite of Spring, danced through seven nations, toyed with lighting, improvised modulations, and premiered yet another of their inventive transcriptions. To conclude, they encored as a two-voiced, four-handed team.
