Celebrating Stretto pianists Donna Weng Friedman and Julia Furlan (New York), Elizabeth Wolff (NYC/Twin Cities), Anna Arazi (Boston), Julia Siciliano (Chicago), plus their collaborators including The River Road String Quartet, narrator Diana Solomon-Glover, violist Jessica Thompson, pianist Luba Slepoi, flautist Darien French-Owen, and clarinetist Alan Schaffer, the Fourth International Stretto Piano Festival is delighted to present music by great classical and contemporary composers including Brahms, Rachmaninoff, Gubaidalina, Florence Price, Stefania DeKenessey, and Valerie Coleman.
Most or all of the pianists will be playing on a Stretto piano with a 5.9 inch octave.
Our diverse artists of various ages and backgrounds are exploring and enjoying stretto pianos like never before. Some are new to them and some have played on them for years, earning university degrees, winning competitions, and exploring hard-to-reach repertoire as often as possible. It’s time for these wonderful instruments to be known and played everywhere by artists of all genres. The Festival and Stretto Piano Concerts hope that this event can be a springboard for more year-round global events featuring international artists that gain publicity and new followers, and create opportunities for composers and performers everywhere.
This in-person concert will also be livestreamed via the Stretto Piano Concerts YouTube channel at 3pm Eastern.
