Global Reviews

  • “The shy, boyish face of American pianist Frederick Moyer belies his mature musicality, his pronounced expressive versatility, and his readiness to shape the music with a good deal of elasticity of hand and mind. He inaugurated the present season and left the audience in Villafranca pleasantly impressed with his gifts.”
    <i>- L'arena</i><br /> Verona, Italy
  • “Frederick Moyer from the USA impressed us as a very fine, mature musician and pianist. From the first note of the seldom heard Sonata in F by Haydn, there was clarity. Moyer's mind works in an exemplary manner, the self-control is perfect, the spectrum of feelings is rich, the fingers nimble, the pedal being used quite sparingly.”
    <i>- Estonian Weekly</i><br /> Tallinn, Estonia
  • “A profound musicality, reflective, is evident in the presentation of the Paganini/Liszt, and it resounds with health beneath the fingers of this well-trained pianist.”
    <i>- La Libre Belgigue</i><br /> Brussels, Belgium
  • “A resounding success in every way... Guest soloist pianist Frederick Moyer has an unassuming mien, belying his considerable talent. His interpretation of the Rachmaninov Piano Concerto was musicianly in every way.”
    <i>- Evening Post</i><br /> Port Elizabeth, South Africa
  • “Frederick Moyer was the foreign revelation among pianists this season, performing his debut at the Teatro Alianza in a very well-shaped program. Moyer is an atypical American who has avoided boxing himself into any particular mold. He has personality and pianistic means of great refinement. ”
    <i>- El Pais</i><br /> Montevideo, Uruguay
  • “Moyer applied an individual, relevant and, above all, intelligent approach... intense, almost introspective, but the triumphant power in his playing was totally compelling... A thoroughly enjoyable, astute concert.”
    <i>- South Morning China Post</i><br /> Hong Kong
  • “Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini by Rachmaninov has been described as his finest concert work; pianist Frederick Moyer's dazzling account of it should have settled any doubts on that score, as did the ovation which followed.”
    <i>- The Courier-Mail</i><br /> Brisbane, Australia
  • “Moyer's playing was full of emotion, and he succeeded in expressing his good heart. I was very favorably impressed with the straightforward and honest attitude to music which this young pianist possesses.”
    <i>- Asahi Shimbun</i><br /> Tokyo, Japan

Fred’s popular recital program that bridges the gap between Classical Music and Jazz

"This was more than just a transcription and re-interpretation of an influential jazz classic, this was an uncannily accurate transcription of time and history, personal and musical.” - JazzMusic.com

Audiences and critics have praised Moyer’s unique recital program “Classical~Jazz” which bridges these two worlds. The recital begins with solo classical piano works chosen to highlight the classical roots of jazz. Then Moyer is joined by bassist and drummer to perform note-for-note transcriptions of improvisations by jazz legends. Finally the trio plays Moyer’s own arrangements and improvisations from the Great American Songbook.

"Moyer On Air" Videos

During the pandemic, when musicians have been sidelined and struggling to navigate a changed industry, pianist Frederick Moyer has continued to perform for audiences throughout the US — without leaving his home. “Moyer On Air” videos combine high-quality audio, a Steinway concert grand, multiple cameras and a patented device to display the hands and images on the underside of the lid of the piano. Moyer’s USolo software allows him to play concertos with orchestra, jazz with bass and drums, chamber music with colleagues around the world. Software engineer Gabe Johnson has developed software that has made it possible to create over 200 videos, each customized for the recipient. Moyer personally greets that audience; images of the organizations’s logo and photos of venue are displayed throughout.

All art is created within restrictions, whether they are the confines of a canvas, the size of the hands playing an instrument, or the metric rules of a poem. Moyer’s video-concerts are themselves a work of art created from the unusual restrictions presented by the pandemic.
