Anthony de Mare, piano

100 YEARS OF AMERICAN PIANO MUSIC
The Maverick Jungle
The trailblazing pianist takes audiences on a journey through iconoclastic American composers from Conlon Nancarrow to John Adams and Meredith Monk, traversing multiple genres. One of the world’s foremost champions of contemporary music, “De Mare’s passion and vision almost radiate from the stage ... he causes all involved – composers, performer and audience members – to think about how music is made and how we listen to it” (The Chicago Sun Times).
