West Coast Tour Rave Reviews

Cascadia Weekly:

Music depends upon the expressive ability of the performers, and Anderson & Roe are extraordinary partners in an ordinary world, capable of shifting paradigms... Who knew duo piano playing could be so sexy?

Visionaries and dreamers; they are the risk takers who are pushing the boundaries of the traditional world... They are the types of souls who will ultimately save our creative universe.

 
San Francisco Classical Voice:

... the most dynamic duo of this generation ... explosive creativity ... refreshing ... exuberant ...

[Piazzolla's Libertango] was not simply a sensual auditory experience, it was also a visual, precisely choreographed, sizzling dance. The level of passion and heat was stifling.

Their recital gave further proof that the survival of "classical" music depends on remaining relevant in today’s culture.

Albuquerque Journal:

[Anderson & Roe] bring to the concert stage precisely the kind of rampant energy classical music performance needs to keep the works fresh and vital.

Anderson & Roe on Performance Today!

Hey radio listeners! We recently visited the "Performance Today" studios in St. Paul, MN where we chatted with Fred Child and performed several selections from our upcoming album on the Steinway Label, "When Words Fade." Our conversation with Fred waffled from serious to silly to completely awkward, so it should make for some good radio listening. The shows are set to air on Monday and Tuesday, November 14th and 15th. Be sure to tune in!
