And the words of Henry Miller prompt truly, who noted once: “For a tiny span we may lose, us dissolve into miracles and blessedness, changed by the secret.” This enthusiasm has played a role in encouraging Zeidwig to forge ahead and relentlessly pursue new avenues of expression. His first play, The Debut, which also includes his first original compositions, Rainbow Concerto and Colors of Hope has created enormous attention in the theater world. Prior to it’s official opening The Daily News states: “An extraordinary performer is now in town.“Brilliant”…“Wonderful”, “Superb”. “A genius”…“Uplifting”…“Wow!” I have seen the show four times now and can’t wait to see it again on Friday.” Subsequently, the first review in the Cape Cod magazine states: “A virtuoso of the highest caliber. Had the audience on its feet with well-deserved Bravos! Piano playing of extraordinary quality. Subtle and romantic. Glorious musical lightning. Terrific. The Debut is a simply superb evening of theater. The caliber is very high indeed.” The Debut made its concert hall Debut at Harvard University’s Paine Hall in 2003. Zeidwig’s first and only films, Baroque and The Practice Session, have been broadcast in six continents, along with over 100 television appearances. Zeidwig, a Las Vegas Headliner in 2006, has also had recent successes with major symphony orchestras, along with full houses at Carnegie Hall.
