SPRING 2016 – A CELEBRATION OF THE PIANO
Posted on: May 17th, 2016
Cherry Hill’s spring concert series, A Celebration of the Piano, reaches a crescendo on May 22nd with the performances of Andrew Willis and six of his most gifted graduate students from UNC-Greensboro. Dr. Willis, Professor of Music at UNCG, is well-known for his work with various keyboard instruments and his commitment to the study, performance and teaching of the widest possible range of repertoire. In past performances at Cherry Hill and on the Greensboro campus, Dr. Willis and other professors of music have presented the biannual Focus on Piano featuring immersion into the life and compositions of one composer. This year he and his students will delight their audience with a performance of works by a number of musical geniuses as they play compositions of Brahms, Debussey, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Faure, von Weber, and Moscheles.
In addition to performing individually on the magnificent Steinway concert grand, some of the pianists will perform on two pianos. Dr. Willis relishes the opportunity to work with these incredibly talented students from all over the United States. They include Walton Lott and Colin McDearman from Mississippi; Karl Metzger from Ohio; Stephanie Schmidt from Wisconsin; Robin Morace from New York; and Daniel Seyfried from Idaho. The concert will begin at 3:00 PM, and admission is taken at the door. The price of the performance is $10 for adults, $5 for students, and free admission for children 12 and under. A reception in the dining room of the 1850’s plantation home of the Alston family will follow the performance.
