The Four-Hand Piano Duo pianists Bonnie Anderson and Donna Gross Javel are fast becoming known both for their creative and varied programming as well as their uncanny ability to make ‘four hands’ look and sound like ‘two’. After several years of playing solo repertoire for each other in a monthly piano group, they sat down on a whim to sight read four-hand piano music. Pleasantly surprised by the well-matched tone and technique of their four hands, they began exploring the piano duo repertoire. They have been performing together as The Four-Hand Piano Duo to enthusiastic audiences throughout the New England area ever since their 2004 debut in Danvers, Massachusetts. They are often told that their enthusiasm and energy are contagious. On May 22, 2010, The Four-Hand Piano Duo will perform on the Piano Heritage Concert Series, at the Parish Center for the Arts in Westford, MA
