5 minutes with ... Christopher O'Riley.(Interview)
One of today's leading pianists, Christopher O'Riley hosts From the Top, a weekly radio series showcasing exceptional young classical musicians. A New England Conservatory Artist Diploma graduate, O'Riley has earned top awards, scholarships and grants. New CDs include his own piano re-imaginings of songs by the rock group Radiohead.
I've seen your name spelled "O'Riley" and "O'Reilly." An "Artur" vs. "Arthur" Rubinstein thing?
"O'Riley" is correct; I've given up on correcting alternative spellings.
I'm a big fan of From the Top (FTT).
It's our seventh year. I was approached by the executive producers, who thought, "Wouldn't it be great if young musicians were lavished the same media attention afforded, say, gymnasts?" They appreciated my varied background and felt my informal style would connect with listeners.
Did you imagine this fate early on?
It wasn't planned, but my family has a history in radio, and I've had experience emceeing and performing in unlikely places--car dealerships, hospices, schools, etc.--where audiences were not necessarily familiar with classical music. I never envisioned I'd be best known for hosting FTT; many people are surprised to discover I play the piano!
