HARRISON — United Parish Concert Series presents pianist Frederick Moyer at United Parish UCC, 77 Main Street in Harrison, at 3 p.m. on Sunday, July 20.
Frederick Moyer is one of the most exciting pianists before the public today. Equally at home with Bach, Beethoven, and Rachmaninoff, as well as Ellington and Gershwin, his recitals are creative, engaging, and entertaining and generally include time-honored favorites as well as pieces that audiences may be hearing for the first time. Also featured is his MoyerCam, a projection system that allows the audience to see his hands as he plays.
Frederick Moyer has established a vital musical career that has taken him to forty-four countries and to such distant venues as Suntory Hall in Tokyo, Sydney Opera House, Windsor Castle, Carnegie Recital Hall, Tanglewood, and the Kennedy Center.
He has appeared as piano soloist with world-renowned orchestras including the Cleveland, Philadelphia, and Minnesota Orchestras, the St. Louis, Dallas, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Houston, Boston, Singapore, Netherlands Radio, Latvian, Iceland and London Symphony Orchestras, the Buffalo, Hong Kong, and Japan Philharmonic Symphony Orchestras, the National Symphony Orchestra of Brazil, and the major orchestras of Australia.
His many recordings on the Biddulph, GM, and JRI labels reflect an affinity for a wide variety of styles. In recital, his delightful commentary from the stage brings the audience into the heart of the musical experience. Moyer’s wide-ranging interests have led him to undertake many unique and ground-breaking projects, often involving software that he writes himself.
Other upcoming United Parish Concerts include Dave Sturdevant on Sunday, August 17, at 3 p.m. Dave is a singer-songwriter who performs traditional ballads, camp songs, and Lutheran hymns on various instruments. Also coming soon will be Novel Jazz, unique interpretations of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn era jazz, on Sunday, September 14, at 3 p.m.
