LEWISTON — Grammy award-nominated pianist Reiko Uchida and Thomas Meglioranza, called “one of America’s finest young baritones” by Newsday, will perform at Bates College at 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 2, at the Olin Arts Center Concert Hall, 75 Russell St.
At Bates, Uchida and Meglioranza are slated to perform music by Schubert, Fauré and others.
Meglioranza has won a variety of competitions including the 2005 Walter W. Naumburg Competition and the Franz Schubert/Modern Music Competition in Graz, Austria. This “immaculate and inventive recitalist” (The New Yorker) works in styles ranging from pre-Baroque to opera and classical to contemporary.
Uchida is recognized as one of today’s finest, most versatile pianists. First-prize winner of the Joanna Hodges Piano Competition and the Zinetti International Competition, she has performed solo and chamber music concerts worldwide. Uchida was one of the first pianists to be chosen for Chamber Music Society Two, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s program for outstanding emerging artists.
