I have not been to a Sunday afternoon piano concert in many years. Right now I'm wondering why? Well, I know I wouldn't have gone to this concert if I hadn't been given tickets for my birthday last week. What an AWESOME gift!
My husband and I arrived early to Alix Goolden Performance Hall and found seats in the front row. If I sit too far back I sometimes fall asleep at concerts(...yup...I do!). The sun was streaming in through the intricate stained-glass window of the old church and it was a stunning setting for 19th century piano music.
Charles Foreman was our pianist.
An accomplished, confident performer, a professor of music, an eloquent speaker, he clearly knew what he was doing:)
We heard Liszt, Grieg and Schumann. Grieg and Schumann ended up being our favorites and there were 3 encores!
I'd love to hear Charles Foreman play again!
