A Dynamic Duo: Elinor Armer & Lois Brandwynne

Presented by San Francisco International Piano Festival

Elinor Armer

"Armer… a kind of musical fabulist, spinning fantasies about actual and mythical beings with humor, affection, and a sense of wonder. Her musical style is distinctly modern, but freely and authentically so, projecting her own individual voice." —San Francisco Classical Voice

“[Lois Brandwynne] A four-star musician with blazing technique, uncanny agility, musical intelligence, and sensitivity.” - San Francisco Chronicle

Two Bay Area treasures are featured special guests for this Piano Legacy Program. Join us for a musical conversation celebrating decades of friendship and collaboration, a golden age at Mills college, and reflections on composition, performance, and mentoring young musicians. The program will include a performance of Armer’s Three Songs on the poetry of Ursula le Guin with Mezzo-Soprano Kindra Scharich and pianist Lois Brandwynne.
