Anderson & Roe have garnered millions of views on YouTube, largely to their cinematic and boundary-pushing videos that showcase their impressive playing skills and quirky, entertaining personalities.

Their recent albums, including “When Words Fade,” “An Amadeus Affair” and “The Art of Bach,” all received critical acclaim and spent dozens of weeks at the top of the Billboard Classical Albums charts. During the 2016-17 season alone, Anderson & Roe toured throughout North America, Asia and Europe, appeared with the San Francisco Symphony, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, the Chicago Sinfonietta and released their ambitious music film, “The Rite of Spring,” on DVD.

Praised by The Washington Post as “the very model of complete 21st-century musicians,” Anderson & Roe “fuse classical and pop music into a blend of high artistry and skillful entertainment; they write informative program notes; they talk to the audience from the stage, passing the mic back and forth. That they are crack pianists goes without saying.”

Anderson & Roe can transition effortlessly from playing Rachmaninoff to doing a classical take on songs by techno-dance group Daft Punk. From Radiohead to Taylor Swift to Mozart, nothing is off limits.
