7/1/2013 Spring/Summer Tour 2013

Fred’s spring 2013 tour includes stops in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland.

During his present tour Fred has been continuing to perform with his “Piano-Cam,” a camera projector setup that allows audiences to watch his hands as he plays the keyboard. This adds to Fred’s already one-of-a-kind recital programs.

Recently Fred has been performing his popular Notes and Footnotes recital program “Of Old and New: a grandfathers tale. This program focuses on music written essentially a hundred years ago, between 1909 and 1914, a turbulent time in music when the Romantic style reigned and yet new approaches were shocking the music world. Fred’s grandfather, David Moyer, a young American pianist, studied in Berlin during these years. Fred relates stories of David who at age seven performed in vaudeville, at nine played for Teddy Roosevelt at the White House, and at eleven moved to Berlin to study with some of the illustrious pianists of the age. His programs include works by David Moyer’s teachers Alberto Jonas, Ernst von Dohnanyi and Ferruccio Busoni as well as works by giants of the time including Rachmaninoff, Schoenberg, Scriabin, Debussy, Bartok and Prokofiev.
