Concert Review: Ten Grands
Benaroya Hall, Seattle, WA - 05/12/2012

“Ten grand pianos, each played by a masterful musician. Seattle’s magnificent Benaroya Hall played host to this rare and wonderfully executed event, May 12, 2012, for a capacity audience. The Ten Grands concert was the brainchild of pianist Michael Allen Harrison, founder of The Snowman Foundation. Each year, the proceeds from the Ten Grands fundraising concert (this was the fifth Seattle show to date) benefits the foundation, which is devoted to providing music education for children and young adults.”

“Another highlight was William Chapman Nyaho’s passionate rendition of the African-American spiritual 'Wade in the Water.'” “Dr. Nyaho was joined by Yelena Balabanova for a duet on Rachmaninoff’s 'Suite No. 2 Opus 17.'”
