Artist's Venues

Rollin Wilber

“Music fills me with extraordinary feelings of passion and excitement. The pure joy of allowing music to speak its story, measure by measure and page after page, can be such a moving experience. In the privacy of practicing, the beauty of music can become so overwhelming that I am moved to tears and must get up from the piano and pace the room!It is of primary importance for me to share my joy of performing and allow the audience to experience music as completely as possible. There can be nothing more thrilling or exhilarating for me!To that end, I have created a performance venue called Stories in Concert. Good mood and ambience in a restaurant makes for a more enjoyable meal. I believe the same is true at a concert, because a proper setting for music can enhance one’s experience in listening. My goal is to create that setting. I try to accomplish this through a kind of story-telling, born from feelings I’ve experienced in so many private moments while playing these musical works.”
-Rollin Wilber

The Polonaise in A flat ended with the first standing ovation of the evening. After four lilting Mazurkas came the culminating B minor Sonata in a masterful performance, another standing ovation, and three encores…” (David Kozinski, “Eveing Journal”, Wilmington, Del.)
