Norman Krieger, USC Thornton professor of Keyboard Studies, recently performed with the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra for the opening of its 20th season on October 11. In a “celebratory and infectiously positive” atmosphere, as noted by the Roanoke Times, both Krieger and Roanoke music director David Stewart Wiley performed works by George Gershwin as concert soloists and played a duet on Wiley’s own “Porgy and Bess Fantasy for Two Pianos and Orchestra.” The evening was crowned with a standing ovation and two encores, one featuring each pianist.
