Local pianist GraceAnn Cummings of InsidetheMusic performs the opening concert in the 2016/2017 season of the Haller Lake Music Series, featuring selected works by Franz Liszt, a composer from the 19th century known for his virtuosic abilities as a pianist and for his dramatic compositions from the Romantic era of classical music.
Cummings celebrates Liszt's abilities as a composer by programming works for a performance that recreates the experience of transcendence. Adding to the drama, Cummings will wear different masks for each musical selection, accompanied by brief commentary for each piece.
Audience members can speak with Ms. Cummings at a post-concert reception in Fellowship Hall across from the chapel, where there will be free refreshments. The church has ample free off-street parking and is handicap-accessible.
