Music and CD's
Peggy Lyon is a concert pianist whose playing has been described as ”radiating beauty and an inner intensity of feeling which is simply overwhelming”. She has performed solo recitals in Austria, Peru, and major cities in the western United States, and has given world premieres of works by David Baker, Eugene Kurz and Istvan Hornyak. She has also performed concertos with orchestras in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, in Pullman, Washington, and in Denver, Golden, and Evergreen, Colorado.
Peggy studied piano and voice at the Oberlin College Conservatory of Music and at the Mozarteum in Salzburg. She has a Masters in piano performance from Washington State University and a Masters in voice performance from the University of Denver.
Peggy’s award-winning specialty is giving concerts with commentary about the music and the composers. Her talks are informative and humorous, and they are unique for including outrageous pronouncements of critics.
