On the next Backstage Pass, airing Friday, December 1 at 1 p.m. on Classical 91.5/90.3, join host Julia Figueras as she speaks with cellist Steven Doane and pianist Barry Snyder.
A member of the cello faculty at the Eastman School of Music since 1981, Steven Doane has earned an international reputation both as performer and teacher. Formerly principal cellist of the Milwaukee Symphony and Rochester Philharmonic, and a member of the Naumburg Award-winning New Arts Trio during the 1980s, Mr. Doane has since built a performance career as concerto soloist, recitalist and chamber musician. He travels frequently to the United Kingdom for recitals, clinics, and master classes, and has performed concertos in recent seasons in Edinburgh, Scotland and Dublin, Ireland. Recital appearances with pianist Barry Snyder have included concerts at New York's Alice Tully Hall, Boston's Sanders Theater, two recitals at London's Wigmore Hall, and numerous other engagements in the United States and United Kingdom.
Pianist Barry Snyder studied at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. In 1966 he won three major prizes at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. Since then he has performed and given master classes throughout the world, has been a soloist with major American Symphony orchestras, and has collaborated with artists including Hermann Prey, Ani Kavafian, Jan DeGaetani, Steven Doane, Zvi Zeitlin, Bonita Boyd, Raphael Hillyer, and Charles Treger, as well as with the Cleveland, Curtis, Purcell, and Composer's quartets. He became a professor of piano at the Eastman School in 1970.
Backstage Pass, a live radio program broadcast from WXXI's Studio E, is dedicated to spotlighting the arts in Rochester and is made possible in part by a grant from the Gouvernet Arts Fund at Rochester Area Community Foundation.
