Pianist Orli Shaham has established an impressive international reputation as one of today's most gifted soloists and is admired for her interpretations of both standard and modern repertoire. It has long been a dream of Orli Shaham's to make a statement with American piano music. For Shaham, the composers John Adams and Steven Mackey 'are at the forefront of defining what it means to be an American pianist today.' --WFMT Radio

"Mackey is a guitarist who had been thoroughly immersed in rock music until later in life. He is now a Professor at Princeton University. I was absolutely enthralled with this piece and the imaginative and unique orchestration. The interaction and play with the piano resulted in fascinating tonal colors. Both the orchestra and the pianist were superb in bringing this unusual concerto to life. China Gates by Adams, a mesmerizing and hypnotic minimal piece, was played by Shaham with sensitivity, articulation and crystalline touch."
