NEW! Vassily Primokov
Performance of the Month

Enjoy this amazing performance of Chopin compositions from the Newport Beach Music Festival, performed by Yamaha artist, Vassily Primokov. Gramophone wrote that "Primakov's empathy with Chopin's spirit could hardly be more complete," and the American Record Guide stated: "Since Gilels, how many pianists have the right touch? In Chopin, no one currently playing sounds as good as this! This is a great Chopin pianist."

Primokov entered Moscow's Central Special Music School at the age of eleven as a pupil of Vera Gornostaeva, and at 17 came to New York to pursue studies at the Juilliard School with the noted pianist, Jerome Lowenthal. In 2009, Primakov's Chopin Mazurkas recording was named "Best of the Year" by National Public Radio and that same year he began recording the 27 Mozart piano concertos in Denmark. BBC Music Magazine (November, 2010) praised the first volume of Primakov's Mozart concertos: "The piano playing is of exceptional quality: refined, multi-coloured, elegant of phrase and immaculately balanced, both in itself and in relation to the effortlessly stylish orchestra. The rhythm is both shapely and dynamic, the articulation a model of subtlety. By almost every objective criterion, Vassily Primakov is a Mozartian to the manner born, fit to stand as a role model to a new generation."

DisklavierTV LIVE!
Bob James at the MIM

Tune into this Livestream event and hear one of jazz music's legendary artists, Bob James, live from the MIM. At 84 years old, Bob James, one of the fathers of smooth and contemporary jazz, is still working hard on the stage and in the studio. Last September, James released his 36th solo album, Jazz Hands, which captures the veteran pianist, composer, and producer—and two-time Grammy winner—at the very top of his game.

This event is one night only, so mark your calendar today, and have your Disklavier ready for this exciting live event!

DisklavierTV LIVE!
The Music Of Cole Porter
Special Live Stream Event

Don't miss this Livestream event, live from the MIM theater in Arizona! Extraordinary jazz musicians the Anderson Brothers present the life and music of Cole Porter with an entertaining narrative and live performance featuring their sextet and special guest Andrew Walesch. Songs include "Night and Day," "Begin the Beguine," "I Get a Kick Out of You," "I've Got You Under My Skin," and "Just One of Those Things."

Identical twins Peter and Will Anderson are two of the most extraordinary jazz woodwind players today. Born and raised in Washington, DC, the Andersons have headlined the Blue Note, Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, and 54 Below; have performed on Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion; and can be heard on the Grammy-winning soundtrack of HBO's Boardwalk Empire with Vince Giordano's Nighthawks. They received a 2014 Drama Desk nomination for their off-Broadway show Le Jazz Hot and won a 2018 Bistro Award.

Pianist and vocalist Andrew Walesch, who is the artistic director of the MIM Music Theater, has a knack for finding and interpreting a great lyric, whether he is composing and arranging or performing as a solo artist or with his big band.
