End-of-Summer Solo Festival Appearances /  by Elizabeth Roe

Elizabeth wrapped up an eventful summer of concerts and travels with solo performances at the Sunriver Music Festival in idyllic central Oregon. She shared her epic piano favorites in a solo recital on August 19th, then gave a three-hour master class to talented students the following afternoon. Her visit culminated in a sold-out finale concert featuring Mozart's sublime D minor Piano Concerto, K. 466, with the Sunriver Music Festival Orchestra under the baton of Maestro George Hanson (music director of the Tuscon Symphony Orchestra).

Here is a preview interview of her Sunriver residency with Caitriona Bolstor at KWAX-FM:

Return to the Festspiele Meckpomm /  by Elizabeth Roe

Earlier this month, Elizabeth and her Ensemble ACJW colleagues returned to Germany's illustrious Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in a Carnegie Hall-sponsored residency. It was another richly satisfying artistic partnership with the outstanding British violinist Daniel Hope and the FMV. Elizabeth and her colleagues appeared on the festival's stages in Heiligendamm, Schwerin, and Greiswald in performances of chamber music masterworks, including: La Revue de Cuisine by Bohuslav Martinů; Vox Balaenae by George Crumb;the Dumky Trio by Antonin Dvořák; the Trio for Oboe, Bassoon, and Piano by Francis Poulenc; and, alongside Daniel Hope, Contrasts by Béla Bartók. What a fulfilling and fantastisch start to the summer!
