Leonard Stein 100 years of Music Through 23 years of programs, Piano Spheres artists, Board

of Directors, and staff have been inspired by the exploring

and visionary mind of our founder, Leonard Stein. This

season we celebrate his catalytic genius and generous

mentorship with programs that deconstruct traditional

modes of thought about the piano repertoire and recital – as

seen through the lens of the gifted artists who make up this

season. As a musical citizen of the world, he stimulated,

encouraged, and challenged artists throughout his lifetime.

He left a lasting legacy to the history of 20th century music

and was celebrated for bringing the contemporary musical

world to Los Angeles. Piano Spheres is proud to dedicate

this season to Leonard Stein in his centenary year.

Described as a “modern renaissance man,” (Over the Mountain Journal) Grammy® nominated pianist Aron Kallay‘s playing has been called “exquisite…every sound sounded considered, alive, worthy of our wonder” (LA Times). Aron’s performances often integrate technol-ogy, video, and alternate tunings; Fanfare magazine described him as “a multiple threat: a great pianist, brainy

tech wizard, and visionary promoter of a new musical practice.”Aron has performed throughout the United States and abroad and is a fixture on the Los Angeles new-music scene. He is the co-founder and board president of People Inside Electronics (PIE), a concert series dedicated to classical electroacoustic music, the managing director of MicroFest, Los Angeles’ annual festival of microtonal music, and the co-directer of the underground new-music concert series Tuesdays@MONK Space. He is also the co-director of MicroFest Records, whose first release, John Cage: The Ten Thousand Things, was nominated for a Grammy® award for Best Chamber Music Performance. Aron has recorded on MicroFest, Cold Blue, Delos, and Populist records. In addition to his solo work, Aron is currently a member of the Pierrot + percussion ensemble Brightwork newmusic, the Varied Trio, and the Ray-Kallay Duo.He is on the faculty of Pomona College and Chapman University.
