with Renowned Concert Pianist Frederick Moyer, Tuesday
January 19, 2010
The
Doña Ana Arts Council proudly continues its 2009/2010
Cultural Series with internationally renowned concert
pianist, Frederick Moyer. A
prolific performer, Moyer’s 22 recordings span virtually
the entire piano repertoire from Bach to the latest
composers, while his engaging personality turns each
recital into a personal experience for audience members
all around the world. Frederick Moyer will bring his
knowledge and artistry to the Rio Grande Theatre
stage, Tuesday, January 19, 2010.
Frederick Moyer was born into
an artistic family. His grandparents were all
accomplished artists. On his mother's side, his
grandmother was a poet; his grandfather Paul Green a
Pulitzer-prize-winning playwright. On his father's side
his grandmother was a singer and his grandfather David
Moyer, a professor of piano at Oberlin College and
student of Ferrucio Busoni and Ernst von Dohnanyi.
Moyer's father, a trombonist, was a member of the Boston
Symphony for 35 years, and his mother was an
accomplished pianist, harpsichordist and singer.
During over twenty-five
years as a full-time concert pianist, Moyer has carved
out a vital and unusual career that has taken him to
forty-one countries and to such far-flung venues as
Suntory Hall in Tokyo, the Sydney Opera House, Windsor
Castle and the Kennedy Center. His 22 recordings on the
Biddulph, GM and JRI labels comprise works by over
thirty composers and reflect his affinity for a wide
variety of styles. Moyer’s enthusiasm, exacting artistry
and adventurous programming have made him a favorite
among audiences of all ages. In recital, his delightful
commentary from the stage brings the audience into the
heart of the musical experience.

Grande Theatre is located at 211 N. Downtown Mall, in
