A Gilmore Young Artist, Janice Carissa has “the multicolored highlights of a mature pianist“ (Philly Inquirer) and “strong, sure hands” (Voice of America) that “conveys a vivid story rather than a mere showpiece.” (Chicago Classical Review) She has garnered great acclaims at renowned concert halls, including the Sydney Opera House, Carnegie Hall, United Nations, Kennedy Center, Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park, Louis Vuitton Foundation, Saratoga Performing Arts Center.

Janice’s program in Cheboygan will include the Pathétique Sonata by Beethoven, Liszt's Spanish Rhapsody, Prokofiev's Sonata No. 8, and the very exciting late twentieth-century piece entitled, “Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues” by Rzewski.
