He premiered two works at Disney Concert Hall in December, 2005; excerpts from film composer (The Matrix) Don Davis’ opera Rio de Sangre for the LA Master Chorale and the multi-media opera WET by Ann LeBaron in the REDCAT theater. This summer he returned to the San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival for his tenth season. Pianist Vicki Ray performs widely as a soloist and collaborative artist. She is a member of the award winning California E.A.R. Unit and Xtet. As a founding member of PianoSpheres, an acclaimed solo piano series dedicated to exploring the less familiar realms of the piano repertoire, her playing has been hailed by the Los Angeles Times for "displaying that kind of musical thoroughness and technical panache that puts a composer's thoughts directly before the listener." Vicki Ray has played on various national and international festivals including the Salzburg Festival, the Berlin 750 Jahre Festival and the Ojai Festival where she premiered a new concerto with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Sir Simon Rattle. Ms. Ray has been a member of the piano faculty at the California Institute of the Arts since 1991.
