Piano dedication recital

Posted

NARROWSBURG, NY — The Delaware Valley Arts Alliance will present “Preludes,” a recital, at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 15 to dedicate its 1913 Mason & Hamlin grand piano, a recent gift from the family of the late Lea Lerner. It will take place in Krause Recital Hall on the second floor of the Delaware Arts Center, with acclaimed concert pianist and vocal coach Armen Boyajian playing a program featuring Khachaturian’s virtuosic “Spartacus” music, variations on Mozart’s “Abduction from the Seraglio”—improvised!, and de Falla’s “Ritual Fire Dance.”


“Since I first met her, DVAA Executive Director Elaine Giguere has wanted a quality piano to enhance our performance program,” said Jeff Allison, DVAA board president. “With this generous gift, Elaine’s dream can become a reality.”


Mezzo-soprano Janice Meyerson of Bethel will join Boyajian to sing selections including folk songs by Aaron Copland and several Chopin preludes and nocturnes that were personal favorites of Lerner, a classical piano teacher and the former owner of the instrument.


Proceeds from this performance will go to the development of future DVAA concerts and maintenance of the piano. Tickets cost $30. Reservations are required. Call 845/252-7576.
