Tonight Jerry and I are going to the McCallum Theater in Palm Desert (a regular haunt of ours) for an evening of Keyboard Conversations with Jeffrey Siegel.
We have been to several of Jeffrey's other shows, as he is a marvelous pianist (no matter how you pronounce it). What makes his performances particularly enjoyable are the informal talks Siegel provides before each piece of music is played in its entirety. His overviews (along with nifty demonstrations on the piano and a great sense of humor) are incredibly interesting and fun, adding another dimension to the musical experience. Additionally, after the performance is over, Siegel fields (many times speculative) questions from the audience about the composer's life and music. We always come away invigorated! Tonight, the show is called: "Schubert: The Wings of Song."
