Great Music on Sundays @5 presents Pianists Richard Dowling, Sue Keller & John Thomas "SIX APPEAL!"
Dowling, Keller and Thomas will dazzle the audience with two, four and six hands at one piano. They sure know a fine way to treat a Steinway! Fasten your seatbelts for a musical roller coaster ride filled with rollicking ragtime, blues, classics and musical surprises by three brilliantly entertaining pianists. The concert includes music by Gershwin, Joplin, Lecuona, Piazzolla, Rachmaninoff and more, with special six-hand performancs of themes from Rossinis "Barber of Seville" (a hair-raising delight!) and Gottschalks "The Banjo".
Sue Keller is one of the world's foremost ragtime performers. She was the Artistic Director of the prestigious Scott Joplin Festival for seven years. Sue is the most recorded ragtime artist in YouTube history. She hosts her own ragtime festival at the end of September every year in Orleans at the Church of the Holy Spirit; this year will be her fifth. Sue also is the organist at the Christian Science church in Brewster, and has worked with several theatres on Cape Cod for the last six years, in Provincetown with the Peregrine Theatre Ensemble, as well as the Cotuit Center for the Arts, the Orleans Historical Society, and the Orleans Playhouse. She is currently presenting the 1908 show "The Girl from Quanset" at the Orleans Historical Society, with a cast of camp girls, pirates and parrots. rtpress.com
Richard Dowling is a Steinway Artist who appears throughout the United States in recitals, at music festivals, and as guest soloist with orchestras. The New York Times hails him as an especially impressive fine pianist. Reviews praise him as a master of creating beautiful sounds with impeccable control of colors and textures, as a musician with something to say, the skill to say it and the magnetic power to make you want to listen, and for giving a superb recital that left the audience craving for more at the end. He is a versatile recording artist with more than one dozen CDs of classical, chamber, ragtime, jazz and popular music. On April 1, 2017, he performed the complete piano works of Scott Joplin in historic twin sold-out recitals at Carnegie Hall, exactly 100 years to the day Joplin died in New York City. He is the first pianist in the world to perform the Joplin cycle 53 rags, waltzes, marches and cakewalks nearly four hours of music, all from memory. His 3-CD set of the Complete Joplin was nominated for a Grammy Award. Celebrity ragtime pianist Max Morath says, Richard Dowlings mastery of the Joplin rags invokes a tenderness that charms us and a technical command that inspires our admiration. richard-dowling.com
