I am super thrilled and excited to be soloist in one of the most beloved of all piano concertos, the mighty Rach 2. July 11th and 12th 2020 The Concourse Concert Hall, Chatswood NSW, Australia Click here for ticketing and further details Dr Nicholas Milton AM conductor Amir Farid piano Willoughby Symphony Orchestra PROGRAM: Mendelssohn Ruy Blas Overture, Op.95 Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No.2 in C minor, Op.18 Beethoven Symphony No.5 in C minor, Op.67 “These Americans cannot get enough of it,” Sergei Rachmaninov said of his Second Piano Concerto during a tour of the USA. Indeed, who can resist such unforgettable melodies and fiendish pianism? Hear award-winning pianist Amir Farid join Dr Nicholas Milton AM and the Willoughby Symphony Orchestra in July for an unforgettable performance at The Concourse of one of the piano’s greatest masterpieces. The concert opens with Felix Mendelssohn’s dramatic Ruy Blas Overture, written with feverish intensity in a matter of days – a taut, exciting work that still thrills in the concert hall today. Few moments in music are as instantly recognisable as the four notes that begin Ludwig van Beethoven’s spectacular Fifth Symphony, the sound of fate knocking at the door. Written by a master composer struggling with hearing loss, amidst the turmoil of the Napoleonic Wars, this is music infused with revolutionary fervour and undoubtedly one of the greatest symphonies of all time. I am excited to present this recital of music by the dynamic husband and wife duo of Robert and Clara Schumann. A rarely heard work by Clara, and a powerhouse of the piano repertoire by Robert.
Date: Friday 29th May Time: 7pm The concert will be streamed live. Access to the stream can be purchased at the following website: http://melbournedigitalconcerthall.com/amir-farid-in-recital/  Dave Eggar, cello CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19

I am excited to once again be the official pianist for the annual Lyndon Woodside oratorio solo competition. Since 1977 the Oratorio Society of New York has hosted a solo competition to encourage the art of oratorio singing and to give young singers an opportunity to advance their careers.

Choir of St. Ignatius Loyola
K. Scott Warren, conductor Elisa Singer Strom, soprano Augusta Caso, mezzo-soprano Douglas Purcell, tenor Enrico Lagasca, bass Amir Farid, piano Michael Sheetz, piano Artis Wodehouse, harmonium There is nothing petite about this monumental mass setting, which Rossini wrote following a thirty-year self-imposed retirement from composing opera. It is a tour-de-force for chorus and soloists alike, and is one of the many reasons Rossini earned the respect of his dear friend Giuseppe Verdi. We present the piece in its original—and Rossini’s preferred—form: chamber choir accompanied by two pianos and harmonium, with four vocal soloists. Thursday October 17th 2019, 8pm Church of St. Ignatius Loyola 980 Park Avenue (@ 84th Street) New York NY 10028 Please click here for more information. It is an honour to be the official pianist once again for the Lyndon Woodside Oratorio Solo competition, hosted by the Oratorio Society of New York.
In 1977 the Oratorio Society of New York inaugurated a solo competition to encourage the art of oratorio singing and to give young singers an opportunity to advance their careers. International in scope, it is the only competition dedicated solely to the art of oratorio singing. Competition winners have appeared in concert with the Oratorio Society of New York as well as with other major choral societies and orchestras worldwide. In 2006 the competition’s name was changed to honor Lyndon Woodside, the Society’s late Music Director, and his dedication to the competition from its inception.
