As an Artistic Ambassador for the United States, California-born pianist Dian Baker has performed in the Far East, Central and South America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Europe and throughout the United States. Her concerts have been broadcast worldwide, and she has recorded 11 discs on the Klavier, Wilson Audiophile, Pyramid, Tantara, and Sanctus labels with the late cellist Roger Drinkall. Their "Trios" recording was chosen by Fanfare magazine as one of the top 10 recordings of 1998. Eckart Sellheim, born in Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland), received his musical training in Germany and Switzerland. His numerous recordings include the complete works for violoncello and piano by Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Brahms, Schumann and Chopin with his late brother, Friedrich-Jurgen Sellheim (on CBS), as well as 18th century fortepiano concertos. He is a professor of piano at Arizona State University, and teaches fortepiano at the Musikhochschule in Trossingen, Germany. He has concertized in both Americas, the Middle East, Africa and throughout Europe. Dian Baker and Eckart Sellheim married in 1998 and concertize as a piano duo in the United States and Europe. They feel equally at home with the mainstream repertoire as well as with the lesserknown and with contemporary works for piano four-hands. In performances of 18 th and 19th century music, their instruments of choice are fortepianos from their own collection. Performance Events Staff Manager Paul W.
