MEET THE ARTISTS!

Meet the Artists!Today’s host, Orli Shaham, is a world famous concert pianist.

She travels all over the world giving concerts and plays many different kinds of music. Lots of important composers have written pieces for her, including Steve Mackey who lives in Princeton and is a Professor of Music at Princeton University. Orli also has a lot of musicians in her family. Her brother, Gil Shaham, is an internationally-renowned violinist. Orli and Gil often played together

when they were children, and they still do now that they’re grown up. Orli loves bringing classical music to new audiences, like you today! She created the Baby Got Bach series in 2010 because she thought the world needed more opportunities for young kids like you to hear really great live classical music. When Orli isn’t playing the piano, or hosting Baby Got Bach, she enjoys spending time with her family: her two sons, 9-year-old twins Alex and Nathan, her grown-up step-sons Peter and Johnny, and her husband David Robertson (who is the conductor of the St. Louis Symphony), all of whom are big fans of Baby Got Bach.

WindSync is a famous quintet of wind players.

One important newspaper called them “revolutionary chamber musicians.” The young, adventurous group plays exclusively from memory, which is very unusual. Can you

imagine having to memorize all of your music? They love to play for kids, and have won several very important prizes. In fact, last year they won one of the biggest competitions in the music field - the Gold Medal at the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition. They said it was very nerve-wracking to compete against so many talented musicians but it was very exciting when they won. One of their favorite things to do is to ask living composers to write new pieces for them. In fact, last year they premiered a piece by Paul Lansky who lives in Princeton. They live in Houston but they travel all over the world giving concerts. The group is excited to be collaborating with Orli on today’s concert.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

About Baby Got Bach!Baby got Bach concerts are the brainchild of internationally renowned concert pianist

Orli Shaham, who understood the need to fill the gap in serious musical education for children ages 3-6. In these concerts, kids get a listening tour of great live classical music performed by world-class concert performers led by Orli and her friends. Baby Got Bach is recognized by parents, media and the music community as a significant force in music education and entertainment for pre-schoolers. The program is in-residence at the 92nd Street Y in New York City, and has been cited in New York Magazine’s “Best of New York” list. Orli has also taken Baby Got Bach programs on tour all over the country. Last year was Baby Got Bach’s Princeton University Concerts debut. We are happy to have them “Bach.”
