A dynamic performance by internationally renowned pianist, Frank Glazer will be presented. The 93-year-old Glazer, has been an artist in residence at Bates since 1980. Referring to his career spanning many decades, Glazer, the elder statesman of the keyboard, states: “I’ve worked all my life to get to this point, where I like the sounds I hear, I can do things on the piano I couldn’t do before. Now is not the time to quit!” The March 16th audience will not only have the privilege of hearing a program including J.S. Bach, Franz Schubert and Frederic Chopin, but will be present at the debut performance of a completely re-built and renovated grand piano recently put in place at the Salyards Center for the Arts as a result of a grant by the Goldberg Foundation.

Friday, April 4th, 7:30 PM, Salyards Center for the Arts

The music of the Meliora String Quartet, formed in 2006. The ensemble brings together four of the top musicians in Southern Maine for the sole purpose of performing chamber music repertoire at the highest level. Citing a shortage of opportunities to hear music from this vast and brilliant repertoire, the Meliora String Quartet’s mission is to bring both familiar and lesser known works of note to audiences in Maine.

 

The Seacoast Wind Ensemble in the style of a Sousa Band, honoring area Veterans and providing a musical salute to thank those that served in the armed forces to preserve our nation and insure our freedom. A pre-concert preview presented by Music Director, Rich Spicer, (formerly of New Hampshire Public Radio) will be presented beginning at 7 PM.

White Mountain Musical Art’s purpose in presenting live musical performances throughout the year is to awaken contemporary audiences to the vitality of 17th - 20th century music through historically informed performance of both familiar and unknown works. We hope through live performances, and educational programs to foster an awareness and appreciation of this music creating a cultural experience both for the immediate Mt. Washington Valley community and for the greater population of New Hampshire’s “North Country”.

The music of Johann Sebastian Bach and friends
will echo through the valley
in North Conway, NH
from August 21-24.

The 20th Annual Bach Festival, presented by the White Mountain Musical Arts, will offer a total of seven opportunities to hear and learn about Bach and the wonderful chamber music of the Baroque era. Approximately eighty musicians, professional and amateur, will gather for the four-day event to perform the great instrumental and vocal works of the Baroque masters.
