A highly acclaimed New York debut at Carnegie Recital Hall launched Moyer on a career that has flourished ever since, bringing him to 41 countries, and to such venues as Suntory Hall in Tokyo, the Ambassador Auditorium in Pasadena, Sydney Opera House, Windsor Castle and the Kennedy Center. Moyer has appeared as piano soloist with orchestras including the Cleveland, Philadelphia and Minnesota Orchestras, the St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Houston, Boston, Singapore, and Dallas Symphony Orchestras, the Buffalo, Japan, and Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestras, and the major orchestras of Australia. Conductors under whom he has performed include Vladimir Ashkenazy, Sir Colin Davis, Charles Dutoit, Gunther Schuller, and David Zinman.
Moyer's enthusiasm, exacting artistry, and adventurous programming have made him a favorite among audiences of all ages. In recital, his delightful commentary from the stage brings the audience into the heart of the musical experience.
A comment from the artist: “Music has the ability to express what words can't say. It can be a profound experience to attend a concert where the performer plays without speaking a word -- like going to a museum and letting the artwork speak to you directly. On the other hand, sometimes when we go to the museum, a guided tour can open our eyes to aspects of the art that we would otherwise overlook.
A Notes & Footnotes recital is just like any other piano recital –– the music is the main thing. But I do speak from time to time about what I'll be playing. I try to keep the comments brief, relaxed, informal and focused on information that will help the listener enjoy the music. Moreover, a Notes & Footnotes recital is designed to be enjoyed. The programs are varied, with some well-known pieces, some obscure, some short, some long. Often a theme or concept binds the pieces together. My goal is to make it engaging while keeping the music at the highest possible artistic level.”
