Four-Hands Piano

The Shelter Island Friends of Music will present Orion Weiss and Anna Polonsky in a free, four-hands piano concert on Sunday at 3 p.m. at the Shelter Island Presbyterian Church.

Mr. Weiss and Ms. Polonsky, who are married, perform separately and together. She is widely in demand as a soloist and chamber musician and has performed at venues such as the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Vienna Kon­zerthaus, and Carnegie Hall.

He has performed with most major U.S. orchestras including Chicago, Boston, and Philadelphia. As a recitalist and chamber musician, he has appeared at Ravinia, Seattle Chamber Music Festival, and Chamber Music Northwest.

In an interview published in U-T San Diego, Mr. Weiss said, when asked about the pleasures of four-handed music, “First of all, it’s amazing music and it’s a lot of music that people don’t know. There are masterpieces that people have written for this odd thing of two pianists at one piano.”
