7:30 pm | Woodstock Town Hall Theater
As host of the popular NPR music program, From the Top, Mr. O'Riley is well-known for his eloquent and compelling musings on music and popular culture. His latest performances stretch the piano beyond the classical repertoire and into the rich uncharted territory of contemporary and alt-rock. Announcing the program from the stage allows O'Riley to share discoveries and explore paths in and out of this wealth of material. The music flows seamlessly from one genre to another, from the familiar to the fresh. From Robert Pollard to Rickie Lee Jones to Maurice Ravel; A Perfect Circle to Piazzolla; Thomas Ades to John Adams to Toru Takemitsu to Nine Inch Nails. Christopher O'Riley is recognized as one of the leading American pianists of his generation, touring extensively as a recitalist and chamber musician and appearing with every major orchestra.
Don't forget the Meet the Host lecture demonstration at 5:30pm.
