A Salon of the Romantics with pianist Sarah Takagi

"Riveting, electric and powerful"; "Brilliant pianist . . . who exudes spirit, vehemence and power" Sarah Takagi (www.SarahTakagi.com)

The program begins with excerpts from her CD "Lavender Bouquet" which will draw out the calming and introverted elements of the quieter romantics, then with the Papillons, we journey back to the world with bright, youthful fleeting moments. What follows is an extreme juxtaposition of Bartok's Barbarism contrasting with the pristine beauty of Chopin's Andante Spianato. The program ends on lighthearted offerings by Debussy and Gershwin.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Since making her debut with the orchestra at age 11, Sarah Takagi has performed numerous concerts in the U.S., Canada and Japan, including the the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, D. C. and at Carnegie Recital Hall in New York. She has been invited to appear with Leon Fleisher as a soloist on the PBS show "Musical Encounter", as well as on WGMS Radio's "Spotlight Hour" broadcast.
