The Friday Evening Music Club of the Greensburg area announces its final recital of the season, Sumer is icumen in to be held at 7:30 pm, Friday, June 20 at the Campana Chapel on the University of Pittsburgh- Greensburg campus, 150 Finoli Dr.
This season we stressed the spirit of collaboration, and this recital continues to celebrate that spirit. The concert opens with two movements of the famous Sonata Op. 57 (Appassionata) by Beethoven, presented by pianist Thomas Maroon. Changing centuries and continents, we move to Argentina and will hear guest clarinetist David Steffensen and pianist Beverly Hritz perform Milonga sin Palabras, by Astor Piazzolla, the most well-known composer of tangos.
Piano duo Josie Merlino and Matt Klumpp take us to back to Europe and will play a delightful sonata by French composer Francis Poulenc, followed by Brahms’ Hungarian Dance No. 5 in G minor, arguably one of his most famous toe-tapping tunes. The evening will close with three pianists at one piano – Michael Rozell, Ms. Hritz and Mr. Klumpp, between Flag Day and the 4th of July, will give us a rousing American finale to our year of collaboration with an arrangement of Stars and Stripes.
Admission is free to club members and voluntary donations are accepted from non-members at the door. All are invited to a reception following the recital.
