We listen and respond to audience requests!
Due to so many requests to sit on the keyboard side of the aisles, InConcert Sierra responded by projecting the pianist’s hands on a large screen above the stage. The response is still overwhelmingly positive for our solo piano performances—and it helps to keep the kids interested also!
In the past I’ve enjoyed close-up views of the hands of pianists, often in awe at the speed and power of their fingers. But this time I was mesmerized by the movement of Spencer’s long, tapered fingers as he caressed the keys as though truly dancing on the keys. Choreography was entwined with the elegant sounds he was creating for our enjoyment, and that would have been lost without the projection. It was a delightful concert, one of the best ever! ~ A. Ruth (10/11)
“…The big screen provided a second dimension that increased our enjoyment and we would like to see that repeated whenever you have a pianist featured.”
~Len Lewis
Please note – the screen is only used by artist permission.
