MARTHA-ELLEN TYE RECITAL HALL, ISU

Since his debut at age 17 with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Esa-Pekka Salonen, Andrew von Oeyen has performed with great orchestras worldwide, including a recent last-minute replacement for a soloist with the Detroit Symphony under Vladimir Ashkenazy. His appearance in Ames will follow closely on his debut with the Chicago Symphony. In 1999 he won the prestigious Gilmore Young Artist Award, and since that time his solo recitals throughout the country have garnered high praise. In the words of the Chicago Tribune, "Brilliant technique can be taken for granted among today's concert pianists, but von Oeyen's playing goes a step further. He leaves you convinced that he can do absolutely anything he likes with a keyboard."
