Piano phenom Kyle Orth to perform in Fallbrook

FALLBROOK – Kyle Orth, one of the rising superstars in classical music circles, is the next performer in Fallbrook Music Society’s 2015-16 Classical Sunday’s Concert Series.

Hailed as a "spine-tingling" performer (Fort Worth Star Telegram) with "impressively multiple facets" (Boston Musical Intelligencer), Orth is a pianist of unusual virtuosity and artistic sensitivity. He performs as part of the Virtuoso Series at the Fallbrook Public Library on Sunday, Nov. 22, at 3 p.m.

Orth made his orchestral debut at the age of 15, and since then, has appeared as soloist for a number of major orchestras both nationally and internationally, including the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, the Israel Symphony Orchestra, the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, and the Orquesta Sinfónica de Oaxaca (Mexico), just to name a few. A renowned competitor, Orth holds over 20 first-place wins in local, national, and international music competitions. He is currently in residence at the New England Conservatory of Music.

"This season, the Music Society has featured a number of younger musicians in an effort to show the community how classical music is evolving," said Ann Murray. "Kyle is another great example of what the future holds and came to us through his grandmother, believe it or not, who is one of our longtime patrons!" said Ann Murray. "We are incredibly pleased to have him with us!"

The program features two different piano sonatas: Beethoven’s "Hammerklavier," which is considered one of the most technically challenging works ever written, and the less frequently performed Sonata in b minor composed by Franz Joseph Haydn. "Our patrons will have the opportunity to experience Kyle’s amazing artistry. These two masterworks are very, very different, and this intimate recital format will make this performance especially delightful," added Murray.

The Sunday, Nov. 22 concert is free and open to the public. No tickets are required. The program preview begins at 2:30 p.m. More information is available at www.FallbrookMusicSociety.org or by calling (760) 451-8644.
