SPECIAL PRESENTATION: A TALK AND A LIVE PERFORMANCE
William Fried, Concert Pianist and Artist Associate in Piano at Davidson College
"Debussy and the Music of La Belle Époque: The sounds of prewar Paris through the music of Debussy and his circle"

Talented Concert Pianist, William Fried, will talk about Debussy and the Music of La Belle Époque – the sounds of prewar Paris through the music of Debussy and his circle – and will offer a live piano performance of selected works.

William Fried is a pianist based in Charlotte, NC. His work focuses on French music, the postwar Avant Garde, the incorporation of technology, collaboration with dance, and realization of unconventional notation. His many concert highlights include performances at the LA Philharmonic Green Umbrella Series, Vancouver New Music Festival, Roerich Museum (NY), UC San Diego Wed@7 Series, and La Giralda de l’Arboç. Critics have described his playing as “poised and remarkably dexterous… hypnotic” (The Boston Globe), “in possession of an incredible technique” (Vancouver Classical Music), “subtly shaded and delicately phrased” (SanDiego.com), and “awe inspiring” (Beacon Sound).
