Season Finale – Friday Evening Music Club

Season Finale, Friday June 20, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. – Campana Chapel
Join the Friday Evening Music Club for their season finale on Friday, June 20.

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. We 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, Beverly Hritz and Matt 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.
