Greg Anderson and Elizabeth Joy Roe are perhaps the most thrilling young duo performing today, offering adrenalized classical concerts that are revolutionizing the piano duo experience for the 21st century. Described as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers transposed from the dance floor to the keyboard (The Southampton Press) and the intense synchronization of genius (ThirdCoast Digest), Greg and Liz bring their joyous camaraderie and refined artistry to the concert stage, dazzling audiences around the world as a four-hand and two-piano team.

The Anderson & Roe Duos & Duets series features inspiring arrangements as performed by the duo---from settings of treasured opera melodies to medleys of popular movie music. The pieces are edited with fingering and other directions that facilitate rehearsal and performance, making them accessible for advancing students as well as for concert performers.

Regarded as one of the greatest violinists of all time, Fritz Kreisler composed dozens of short works for violin and piano to perform on his recitals. Tambourin Chinois is a joyous and delightful musical gem, a celebration of imagined worlds and faraway lands. An acrobatic arrangement, the pianists are asked to recreate the playfulness of the music through dance-like interaction.
