Christopher O'Riley, Pianist: Out of My Hands November 6, 2010

Christopher O'Riley, one of the leading pianists of his generation and host of NPR's 'From the Top,' stretches the boundaries of the classical piano repertoire with his latest project 'Out of My Hands.' Weaving his re-imaginings of the music of R.E.M., Nirvana, Pink Floyd, The Smiths, Radiohead and works by Ravel, Shostakovich, Adams and Ades, together with his eloquent and compelling musings on music and popular culture, O'Riley breaks into uncharted territory exploring the paths in and out of this wealth of material, melding the familiar with the fresh.
