“Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers transposed from the dance floor to the keyboard,” is how the dynamic piano duo, Anderson and Roe, can best be described.

Best known for their adrenalized performances, original compositions and notorious music videos (like Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean above), Juilliard Alumni Anderson and Roe are electric and certainly know how to rock out on the keyboard!

See them perform at the next Piano 101 event for the Young Patrons of Lincoln Center on May 15, co-hosted with the Juilliard Club. Learn more about this event and the YPLC program here.

Four years ago the Grammy Nominated production team DEORO embarked on a radical musical adventure on the remote island of Mindanao in the southern Philippines. In the hills of Bukidnon they wrote and recorded with members of the Talaandig tribe and Katyapi virtuoso Waway Saway. Fusing their unique style of classical groove with the thousand year old local tradition of tribal music, Dave Eggar and Chuck Palmer continued their collaborations in the bustling metropolis of Manila fusing the tribal music with the edgy urban sounds of some of the best known young Filipino Artists Nyko Maca and Jonan Aguilar. This resulted in the release of DEOROXX a powerful record celebrating the fusion of western and Filipino music. DEORO now brings this innovative fusion of the classical the tribal and urban contemporary to Lincoln Center for a powerful evening of music, dance, martial arts and video celebrating Filipino culture past and present and a new era of extreme collaboration.

The Brooklyn Manila Project was commissioned by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

Catch DEORO live at Lincoln Center’s David Rubenstein Atrium tomorrow at 7:30pm for FREE, part of the weekly Target Free Thursday’s series.
