Premier Players of Los Angeles

Faculty cellist Joyce Geeting will be joined by pianist Robert Thies and violinist Lorenz Gamma in a performance of music by Dvorak, Schumann, Schubert and Kodaly.

As the Gold Medal Award winner in the 1995 International Prokofiev Competition in St. Petersburg, Thies is the only American pianist to win a Russian competition since Van Cliburn’s triumph in 1958.

Born and educated in Switzerland, Gamma is a violinist who, like Thies and Geeting, has enjoyed a diverse career as an orchestral soloist, recitalist, chamber musician, recording artist and teacher.

Geeting was selected as 2014 Studio Teacher of the Year by the Los Angeles section of the American String Teachers Association.

Admission is free.
