KEENE, N.H., 1/27/2011 - Keene State College’s Redfern Arts Center presents the accomplished pianist Christopher O’Riley, performing a program titled Out of My Hands on Wednesday, February 23 at 7:30 p.m. in the Alumni Recital Hall. Ticket prices range from $22 to $11 for the general public, or $5 for Keene State students. The performance will be followed by a question and answer session with the performer.

Audiences are invited to come early and meet Christopher O’Riley before the show. These Meet-and-Greets with the artists are hosted by the Redfern and its staff. They will be held before each Visiting Artist’s performance throughout the year. They begin at 6:30 p.m.; light refreshments will be served.

A dynamic performer with a talent for stretching the boundaries of classical music, Christopher O’Riley is famous for bridging the gap between traditional and modern tastes, offering audiences an eclectic program of compositions that includes something for everybody. Incorporating influences as recent as Radiohead, Nick Drake, and Elliot Smith into classics by Ravel, Scriabin, Shostakovich and others, O’Riley’s musical blends have connected with audiences across the country.

This performance is sponsored by C&S; Wholesale Grocers and is funded in part by the New England States Touring program of the New England Foundation for the Arts, made possible from the National Endowment for the Arts Regional Touring Program and the six New England state arts agencies.
