His enthusiasm is contagious ... His credentials are world class ... His virtuosity is astounding. Pianist Jeffrey Siegel returns for another spectacular season of entertaining and informative Keyboard Conversations® - four full concerts with the stories behind the music's creation. These experiences begin with an insightful and entertaining prologue on the music and its composer, followed by a full performance of the works, and end with a lively question-and-answer session.




Superb music making...an achievement of a sort seldom heard.
- The New York Times
In the best of all possible worlds every concert would be like
one of Jeffrey Siegel's Keyboard Conversations.
- Milwaukee Journal
