FIVE COMPOSERS AND A PIANIST featuring pianist Donna Weng Friedman
Tuesday, November 14, 2023, 10:30AM
Steinway Hall, 1133 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10036
REGISTER HERE (Required)
Created with STEINWAY Teacher & Educational Partners in mind, this concert features gorgeous music composed by Beata Moon, Julie Mandel, Kim D. Sherman, Niloufar Nourbakhsh, and Stefania de Kenessey, with poetry recited by Diana Solomon-Glover.
Much of this music was composed for tween/teen piano students, an often-neglected age group especially when it comes to new music.
The performance will be followed by a panel discussion with the composers and pianist, led by Jed Distler, radio host of Between the Keys.
