ROBERT EDWARD THIES piano and Friends The Thies Consort draws on Southern California's premier ensemble artists to perform innovative and unique programming with musical continuity based on a style, composer, or other concept. When the Consort made its debut centered around the great French composers for the South Bay Chamber Music Society, its late founder and pianist Sidney Stafford remarked afterwards, "I think this is the best concert our organization has ever presented in the past 46 years." The Thies Consort returns to Trinity Lutheran after its monumental all-Shostakovich program there in April 2006. A favorite of Southland aficionados, Los Angeles-based Robert Edward Thies is Gold-Medal winner of the Second International Prokofiev Competition in St. Petersburg, Russia. Robert has performed worldwide with over forty orchestras including the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, Mexico City Philharmonic, Auckland Philharmonia, Fort Worth Symphony, Pasadena Symphony, and the National Symphony of Mexico.
