The 16th season of the KeyedUp MusicProject is set to begin on Saturday, October 18th at 7:00 p.m. at the National Opera Center in New York City. Each season features a concert that pianists Marc Peloquin and Roberto Hidalgo share. This year features a celebration of the 125th anniversary of Aaron Copland. Roberto will perform Copland’s Four Piano Blues and the solo piano version of El Salón Mexico. Marc will be premiering the first full piano version of the suite from Copland’s famous ballet Billy the Kid. And a work for two pianists together, this event will feature a beautiful work by friend (and ACA composer) Allen Shawn titled Suite Parisienne, as well as a rarely performed piano four-hand version of Virgil Thomson’s Symphony No. 2. Following the concert will be a festive artist-audience reception.
