Artist Series Features Pianist Ann Schein
HOUGHTON,
N.Y. —The Houghton College Artist Series presents pianist
Ann Schein in concert on Saturday, Nov. 3 at 8 p.m. in Wesley
Chapel.
From her first recordings for Kapp Records, and her highly acclaimed Carnegie Hall recital debut as an artist on the Sol Hurok roster, Schein’s amazing career has earned her high praise in major American and European cities and in more than 50 countries around the world.
She has performed with the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Baltimore Symphony, the Washington National Symphony, the London Philharmonic, the London Symphony, and the BBC Symphony Orchestra. She also performed at the White House during the Kennedy administration.
During 2006-07 Schein performed concertos of Mozart, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, and Brahms in major cities across the United States in a continuing series of appearances. During the summer of 2007 she has appeared in the Great Lakes Festival, the Indiana Piano Festival, the Kent-Blossom Festival, and the Eastern Festival as well as the Aspen Festival, in a combination of solo recitals, chamber music and master classes.
Schein’s Houghton concert will be all Chopin. Similarly in 1980-81, she extended the legacy of her teachers, Mieczyslaw Munz, Arthur Rubinstein, and Dame Myra Hess performing six concerts of the major Chopin repertoire in Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall throughout an entire season to outstanding reviews and sold-out houses, the first Chopin cycle presented in New York City in 35 years.
Tickets for the Ann Schein concert are $15 and can be reserved by calling 585.567.9400.
