Piano Recital: Edward Neeman

Australian-American pianist Edward Neeman has performed across five continents appearing as soloist with the Prague Philharmonic, Sydney Symphony, Melbourne Symphony, Kentucky Symphony, Symphony of Northwest Arkansas, and the American West Symphony among others. His debut album, Rachmaninoff & Sitsky, was released to critical acclaim in 2016. Currently a piano lecturer at ANU School of Music, Edward Neeman holds a Doctorate from the Juilliard School, as well as degrees from the Australian National University (ANU), the Manhattan School of Music, and the College-Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati.

In this solo piano recital, Neeman performs the epic Ballade in G minor by Chopin, and contrasts this with a ballade by American composer Amy Beach. Polonaises by Chopin and Lizst, Songs without Words by Fanny Hensel-Mendelssohn, and entertaining dances by Cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona feature on the program as well.
