About
The President The Hon. Bronwyn Bishop AO and the Friends Council have great pleasure in inviting you to a recital of reproducing piano rolls presented by Dr Peter PhillipsDr Peter Phillips is a pioneer in digitising piano rolls, and he digitised the entire Condon piano roll collection before it went to Stanford University in 2014. He has given recitals in venues locally and around the world from his extensive library of MIDI files of reproducing piano rolls. He recently worked with the Sydney and Cincinnati Symphony Orchestras accompanying Gershwin’s Duo-Art piano roll recordings of Rhapsody In Blue played on a Yamaha CFX Disklavier.
Perter will present a recital by historic pianists such as Percy Grainger, Claude Debussy and Sergei Rachmaninoff who recorded their art on reproducing piano rolls that have been digitised by Peter Phillips, enabling the recordings to be played on modern instruments.
