Piano lovers and students of the piano, young and old, will not want to miss this opportunity to experience such outstanding keyboard skill and artistry. BCPAC is proud to sponsor this recital as part of its 30th anniversary of providing major performing talent to local audiences in the Bucks County area. The concert will take place on Saturday evening, March 15, at 7:30 P.M. in the historic Yardley Community Centre, 64 South Main St. in Yardley. Pianist Natalie Zhu is a graduate of the Curtis Institute and has collaborated with major performing and recording artists. She has also recently released a new solo recording of Mussorgsky’s towering “Pictures at an Exhibition”. Winner of the 2003 Avery Fisher Career Grant, Natalie Zhu has been praised by the New York Times as “a pianist with wonderful technique and musical instincts who evidently has never heard a piano tone she could not make more beautiful.” The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote “Zhu is an attentive, discreet chamber musician and a well-groomed Mozartean but with a demonic side…Zhu generated a virtuoso voltage in Schumann’s Kreisleriana and Ginastera’s Sonata.” And the San Francisco Chronicle wrote ” Zhu came nimbly to the fore in Mozart’s F Major Sonata, contributing tenderness with style in the beautiful minor key variation set at the heart of the Sonata.” Tickets are available for $12, $10 (seniors), $8 (students) and $5 for children under five. Tickets are available by contacting the BCPAC office, online at their website (www.bcpac.org) or at the Yardley Community Center prior to each concert.
