About ROLLIN WILBER – PIANIST

Rollin Wilber, pianist, was raised in the New York City area, in an extended family of professional musicians. He started his piano studies at age eight and began performing publicly at the age of 16. He graduated from high school one year early to study with Temple University’s Mr. Maryan Filar, internationally acclaimed pianist and Chopin interpreter. He has been an active recitalist for the last forty years, including solos with local orchestras. His background is extensive in chamber music and accompanying; he performed regularly with his own piano trio in the 1990’s. He teaches piano and is a composer. He created his own series of dramatic narratives within a music recital, presented as “Stories in Concert,” and developed original seminars in his “Art of Listening” series, exploring the language of expression in live music (debuted at Chautauqua in 2000). He is a founder of the performing group, Fine Art Music Company, created in 2010, presenting seasonal series of theme-driven concerts of diverse music at Ivy Hall on Lancaster Ave and at the Philadelphia Ethical Society on Rittenhouse Square in Center City, Philadelphia.
