- The New York Times Guy Livingston leads a impressive career as a pianist and producer. Based in Paris and Amsterdam, Mr. Livingston has performed all over the world, notably as soloist with the Chicago Symphony, the Orchestre Nationale de France, and as a recitalist at the Centre Pompidou, the Théâtre du Chatelet, the IJsbreker, the MuziekGebouw, the Library of Congress, The Knitting Factory, Miller Theater, and Lincoln Center. His recordings of the 20th and 21st century repertoire include prize-winning premieres of music by John Cage, George Antheil, and over 100 other composers from around the world. Guy Livingston’s best-selling first recording, Don’t Panic, contains sixty one-minute premieres by composers from eighteen countries, and was featured in Le Monde, Gramophone, Diapason, Piano Magazine, and on radio stations worldwide. Livingston’s boldness, stamina, and virtuosity at the piano have earned him major coverage in Sports Illustrated, The New York Times, and on National Public Radio. Guy Livingston is one of the foremost performers of George Antheil’s music today. He organized the Paris Antheil Centennial Concert, and was Artistic Director for the 2003 George Antheil Festival in Trenton in honor of the 1920’s futurist. Livingston has been the focus of two television documentaries on Antheil, as well as appearing in the film Bad Boy Made Good. In 2003 he recorded a CD of The Lost Piano Sonatas of George Antheil. His performances have also taken him to Holland, Russia, Italy, Tunisia, India, Georgia, Poland, Germany, and South Africa. He has recorded for New World, Wergo, and Mode Records. Livingston holds degrees with honors from Yale University, the New England Conservatory of Music, and the Royal Conservatory of the Netherlands. Prizes and awards include the Huntington Beebe Scholarship, the Gaudeamus New Music Competition, the Harriet Hale Woolley Scholarship, the Orléans Twentieth Century Piano Competition and the Sitges-Barcelona Concorso de Piano Segolo XX. His version of Antheil’s second piano concerto (the world premiere recording), was released in 2006 by New World Records. In seven recitals over five years, he performed the complete piano music of George Antheil at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. Livingston has done extensive work with silent film, both contemporary and from the 1920’s, and was recently commissioned for a special project, Dada at the Movies, by the Holland Festival. Livingston is the producer and pianist for One Minute More, sixty experimental film clips by young vanguard Dutch video artists, funded by the Amsterdam Fund for Art and sponsored by Berlin-based STAMPS watches. Guy Livingston will participate in a July 2011 residency with soprano Ann Moss and the Kronos Quartet in Fresno, California, including masterclasses and concerts. March 2011 |
