In homage to February 14 (Valentine's Day or Chinese New Year -- take your pick) the following Sunday, the Outpost presents a romantic evening of solo piano with former Montclair resident, Robin Spielberg.
Robin began touring the US in 1996. She made her Carnegie Hall debut in a sold-out performance at the Weill Recital Hall in 1997 and has performed there twice since. Spielberg made her Asia concert debut in Korea in August 2004 at the renowned Seoul Arts Center, and performed a concert television special for Korean television, which aired throughout Asia on Airiang TV.
Spielberg's natural talent for making audiences immediately comfortable transforms what could easily be an ordinary evening at the concert hall into a very special concert event. "Robin has such a personal and expressive way of playing, and her story-telling about the origins of the music makes the pieces come alive... the evening was both touching and mesmerizing" writes Wind & Wire Magazine of a recent San Francisco area concert.
And just so you know we haven't forgotten our singer/songwriter roots, the Outpost is delighted to have David Goldman open for Ms. Spielberg. Of Jewish, Sicilian and Albanian background, David grew up in a house rich with classical, opera, popular, blues and international folk music. His musical influences and tastes run from Stevie Wonder, Howlin' Wolf, and Tim Buckley to Ravi Shankar and Italian tenor Carlo Buti.
So, there you have it -- all the ingredients for a very special Outpost concert. Presented by Outpost in the Burbs.
