Greg Anderson and Elizabeth Joy Roe are perhaps the most thrilling young duo performing today, offering classical concerts that are revolutionizing the piano duo experience for the 21st century. Described as “Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers transposed from the dance floor to the keyboard” (The Southampton Press) and “the intense synchronization of genius” (ThirdCoast Digest), Anderson and Roe bring their joyous camaraderie and refined artistry to the concert stage, dazzling audiences around the world as a four-hand, two-piano team.
Anderson and Roe met in 2000 as freshmen at the Juilliard School where they both earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees. They formed their dynamic musical partnership shortly thereafter. They have since toured North America with notable performances in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Salt Lake City, St. Paul, Fort Worth, Milwaukee, Orlando and Washington, D.C., as well as in nearly every New York City venue imaginable, from Carnegie Hall to children’s hospitals. Together they have appeared on MTV and NPR, the Cliburn Concert Series, the Gina Bachauer International Piano Festival and dozens of summer chamber music festivals. The Anderson & Roe Piano Duo released their debut album, Reimagine, in 2008. |
