From Classic Jazz to Broadway in Four Hands at Langley
About
Don’t miss this amazing chance in Bendigo as the world’s leading jazz piano duo comes to Langley!Pioneers in the use of four-hands piano in jazz, Stephanie Trick and Paolo Alderighi have earned worldwide success with their arrangements of classics from the stride piano, ragtime, and boogie-woogie traditions, as well as from the Swing Era.
They have performed across the United States, Europe, Australia and Japan, winning the acclaim of critics and fans alike.
In recent projects, they have focused on the repertoire of the Golden Age of Broadway and Hollywood, as the songs written for those musicals of the stage and screen represent a high point of creative ferment in American popular music.
Blending impeccable technique and mature musicality with humour and showmanship, Stephanie Trick and Paolo Alderighi are internationally considered the most engaging piano duo dedicated to the repertoire of classic jazz.
Stephanie Trick (from St. Louis), a leading exponent of stride piano, and Paolo Alderighi (from Milan), one of Italy’s foremost jazz pianists, met at a piano festival in Switzerland in 2008. Soon after, they started to collaborate on a four-hands piano project and have recorded seven albums together.
At Langley they will present their inventive arrangements in four hands of tunes from the early decades of jazz history (with tributes to Duke Ellington, Thomas ‘Fats’ Waller, Louis Armstrong, and others) and will celebrate some of the composers who contributed to the creation of the Great American Songbook (including Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, George Gershwin, and Leonard Bernstein). The performance will be interspersed with historical facts and anecdotes about the music.
A lively and fun concert not to be missed!
‘I love to hear Stephanie and Paolo together. They are an inspiration. Such sympatico! Such back-and-forth! Individually, they are marvellous musicians—we’ve known that, but together they play 4-handed stride as it’s never been done. Brava, bravo!’
– Dick Hyman
After the concert, you can meet Stephanie and Paolo and enjoy the usual post-concert refreshments served in the Langley Hall mansion.
