Piano Concert at the Chapel

Colgate's Department of Music presents pianist Adam Neiman on Sunday, Sept. 25 at 3:30 p.m. in Memorial Chapel. Neiman will perform a solo recital: Franz Liszt Bicentennial Anniversary Project – Complete Transcendental Etudes for Solo Piano.

This concert is free and open to the public.

Neiman has performed as soloist with the symphony orchestras of Belgrade, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Minnesota, Saint Louis, San Francisco, Slovenia, Umbria, and Utah, as well as with the New York Chamber Symphony and the National Symphony Orchestra of Washington D.C. He has collaborated with many of the world’s celebrated conductors, including Jiri Belohlavek, Giancarlo Guerrero, Theodor Gushlbauer, Carlos Kalmer, Uros Lajovic, Yoël Levi, Andrew Litton, Rossen Milanov, Heichiro Ohyama, Peter Oundjian, Leonard Slatkin, and Emmanuel Villaume.

Chosen as a featured artist by director and Academy Award nominee Josh Aronson, Adam Neiman appeared in the PBS
documentary film "Playing for Real," which aired worldwide and continues to air on the Bravo and Ovation networks. He
was also featured in Peter Rosen’s “In the Key of G,” a PBS documentary about the Gilmore Festival.

His affiliation with PBS and the documentary genre has merged with his passion for composition: he wrote the score
for “Forgiveness: A Time to Love and a Time to Hate,” a film by director and Emmy Award winner Helen Whitney,
released on PBS in 2010. His output as a composer encompasses an array of works for solo piano, chamber music, voice,
and symphony orchestra. Some of his chamber works have been premiered at the Seattle Chamber Music Festival, Poisson
Rouge in New York City, and at the Festival Cervantinos in Mexico, and he frequently performs his own solo piano music
in recital. In 2011 he completed his first string quartet, and he is currently in the process of finishing his first symphony.
