Hailed by the New York Times as “a marvelous pianist,” Oberlin Professor of Piano Peter Takács has performed widely, receiving critical and audience acclaim for his penetrating and communicative musical interpretations.Praised by The New York Times as "An artist who makes one hang on every note," American virtuoso cellist Robert deMaine has distinguished himself as one of the finest and versatile musicians of his generation, having performed worldwide to critical acclaim from Carnegie Hall to the Teatro Colon.
