Cheyney University News September 18, 2014 Arts and Lectures Series at Cheyney University to host An Evening of Solo Piano with pianist Robin Spielberg One of America's most beloved pianist/composers, Robin Spielberg, will perform An Evening of Solo Piano at Cheyney University on Monday, September 29. The program is part of the University's 2014-2015 Arts and Lectures Series. It begins at 7 pm and is open to the public. There is no charge for admission. As a Steinway Artist, Spielberg has been winning the hearts of listeners around the world with her compelling melodies and sensitive piano technique since debuting her first recording of original solos for piano, Heal of the Hand. A prolific composer, Spielberg has 16 recordings to her credit and appears on over 40 compilations around the world. Her discography includes albums of original piano solos, arrangements of American standards, original pieces for piano/ensemble, recordings for the holidays, a CD of American melodies, and a CD of lullabies. Spielberg began her concert career in 1996 and made her Carnegie Hall debut in a sold-out performance at the Weill Recital Hall in 1997. Since then, she has performed two additional concerts there. Other memorable performances include a guest spot on the PBS television special, The Soul of Christmas: A Celtic Music Celebration with Thomas Moore; live performances on CBS Saturday Morning, Good Morning Arizona, Life Time Live, CBS New Orleans, a private concert for the factory workers at the Steinway & Sons historic piano factory in New York, and a month-long concert tour through rural Montana in 2007.
