Description

To ensure both the performers' and the audience’s safety, we require that everyone attending has been vaccinated and will wear a mask.

Regina Myers performs as a solo artist and with ensembles around the Bay Area. She received a Bachelor’s degree in Piano Performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and a Master’s in Piano Performance and Literature from Mills College, where she focused on new and experimental music under the guidance of pianist Marc Shapiro, ensemble leader, and composer Steed Cowart and percussion master William Winant. Regina prides herself on expanding the reach of new music for piano by commissioning new works and organizing concerts for their premieres and recording. She relishes working with young and emerging composers as well as keeping seminal new music masterpieces alive.

Recently called “a sterling pianist and an intrepid illuminator of the classical avant-garde” by The New York Times, Sarah Cahill is the dedicatee of more than seventy compositions, including works by John Adams, Terry Riley, Frederic Rzewski, Pauline Oliveros, Paul Dresher, Roscoe Mitchell, and Annea Lockwood. She is on the faculty of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and her radio show, Revolutions Per Minute, can be heard every Sunday from 6 to 8 pm on KALW in San Francisco. She also gives regular pre-concert lectures for the San Francisco Symphony and the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
