One of the largest all-American solo piano recital tours in recent history.

Keys Across America celebrates 150+ years of creative output for solo piano, featuring works by some of America’s most beloved composers.

Melemed, a New England native, highlights work by composers of the Second New England School, including Amy Beach’s Ballade Op.6, selections from Edward MacDowell’s New England Idyls, and two beautiful miniatures by Arthur Foote.

Visions of the wild west come to life in Buckaroo Holiday from Copland’s Rodeo Suite, and audiences will receive an old fashioned American salute in Gottschalk’s Union.
