Faculty Artists and Friends Present - Piano PIANISSIMO!

Saturday, March 17, 2012 - 8:00pm
Event Location: 
University Recital Hall

Two pianos, four pianists and eight hands – the formula for an exciting, entertaining evening of music! Piano PIANISSIMO!, the final Faculty Artists & Friends concert of the season, features the talents of Music faculty, Dr. Deanna Oye, Glen Montgomery, alumna Magdalena von Eccher (BMus ’07), and special guest David Rogosin on March 17, at 8 pm in the University Recital Hall.

“The pieces we’ve selected are gems of piano repertoire,” says Oye. “The program is filled with music written or arranged for piano duet or piano duo, and the finale features a piece for two pianos and eight hands!”

The program includes a two-piano arrangement of Mozart’s Magic Flute Overture, followed by Concertino for Two-Pianos by Dmitri Shostakovich and Rachmaninoff’s Second Suite. “David Rogosin, a piano professor from Mount Allison University, brings with him a strong interest in duo piano,” says Oye. “It is a pleasure to share the stage with him for this concert.”

Tickets for Piano PIANISSIMO are available at the University Box Office, Monday – Friday (12:30 pm – 3:30 pm) or by calling (403) 329-2616. Tickets are $15 regular, $10 for seniors/students.
