Christopher O'Riley



Saturday, December 5, 2009, 8pm
Dinkelspiel Auditorium  



Don’t touch that dial! The excitement is live on-stage as host and acclaimed pianist Christopher O’Riley joins some of the country’s most promising young classical musicians for a taping of the hit radio program From the Top. Celebrating its tenth year on the air and heard on nearly 250 stations nationwide,* From the Top showcases the talents of exceptional pre-collegiate musicians (ages 8–18) and highlights the roles of its participants as peer models and emerging cultural leaders.

O’Riley is renowned for his classically influenced solo-piano reimaginings of music by pop artists like Radiohead (as heard in a 2008 Lively Arts “Informance”) and Elliott Smith, in addition to recordings of works by Ravel, Scriabin, and other composers.

* From the Top is broadcast locally on Lively Arts sponsor station KDFC 102.1 FM which will air this performance at a later date.
