SALT LAKE CITY – The 2010 Westminster Concert Series will be a Chopin Extravaganza, with six full recitals featuring some of the foremost pianists in the Intermountain West. All concerts will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Mondays in the Vieve Gore Concert Hall in the Emma Eccles Jones Conservatory.
Fréderic Chopin wrote some of the greatest music the world has ever heard, and 2010 marks the bicentennial year of his birth. Westminster College will celebrate the infamous composer, of whom it was said, “Nobody can be compared to him—he stands singly and uniquely in the artistic heavens.”
The first concert of the Chopin Extravaganza will begin with a lecture by Dr. Steve Roens, associate professor of music composition at the University of Utah, followed by a performance of Chopin’s four Ballades. The remaining five performances will be solo performances by some of the most talented pianists in the Intermountain West. The 2010 concert series’ schedule is as follows:
