Véra (Hamburg) is the youngest of the Tippet Rise pianos. Completed in Hamburg, Germany in 2016, it enjoyed a brief string of concerts in
a famed European concert hall before traveling across the Atlantic, all the way to the rolling hills of Fishtail, Montana. Though far from the urban hustle and bustle of its birth city, Véra has found itself at home under the European-inspired architecture of the Olivier Music Barn.
When selecting a piano, artists gravitate toward Véra’s sensitive action and capacity for speed. It performs a versatile repertoire with ease, flawlessly executing everything from delicate arias to virtuosic and bombastic cadenzas. Above its technical precision floats an ethere- al tone, which shimmers in the lofty rafters of the hall. While a natural soloist, Véra does not
play exclusively in the center spotlight. Whether paired with a solo violin, wind quintet, or col- league pianos CD-18 and Seraphina, Véra
shines just as brightly in chamber performances. This piano’s flexible character has proven to be its forte at Tippet Rise, both on and off stage. Some instruments might waver from perfection in less than ideal climates, but Véra adapts with- out complaint to the bitter cold or the bone-dry- heat of the fickle Montana weather, playing consistently in all seasons.
Recent performances include Alessandro Deljavan’s studio recording of Bach’s complete Goldberg Variations and selections from Liszt, as well as summer recitals by David Fung, Natasha Paremski, and Yevgeny Sudbin.
