Schenectady, N.Y. (April 23, 1999) – Pianist Andrew Russo will perform “Piano Music of the 20th Century” Thursday, April 29 at 4:30 p.m. at Union College's Memorial Chapel. The concert is free and open to the public.
Based on short pieces from each decade, 1900-1999, the performance features no pauses between pieces; the sequence forms a prism of styles. Russo made his debut with the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra and has since appeared in major halls in Germany and the United States.
Leipzig raved, “From the first note, the virtuoso Andrew Russo played with such fire…in the outer movements, the pianist's vitality was barely containable.”
Memorial Chapel is located near the center of the Union campus. Parking is available on campus and on nearby sidestreets. For more information, call 388-6749.
