The Friends of the South Pasadena Public Library’s Restoration Concert Series continues on Sunday, May 8, featuring pianist Robert Thies.
The concert begins at 4 p.m. in the Library Community Room.
Robert Thies is an artist renowned for his consummate musicianship and poetic temperament. In 1995, Thies first captured worldwide attention when he won the Gold Medal at the Second International Prokofiev Competition in St. Petersburg, Russia. With this victory, Thies became the only American pianist to win first prize in a Russian piano competition since Van Cliburn’s famed triumph in Moscow in 1958.
Thies enjoys a diverse career as an orchestral soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician. He has already performed 40 concerts with orchestras all over the world.
A dedicated chamber musician, Thies is highly sought after as a collaborator, and he has shared the stage with many esteemed musicians, including those from the LA Philharmonic and the LA Chamber Orchestra.
