SUMMARY:13th Annual Elizabeth Dunaway Burnham Piano Festival George Lopez
DESCRIPTION:Bowdoin College Artist-in-Residence George Lopez returns to Ogunquit to play American Pops Piano Music\, from Joplin to Gershwin! \n \nPianist George Lopez\, the Robert Beckwith Artist-in-Residence at Bowdoin College & Director of the Bowdoin Orchestra\, has been a dynamic performer and educator for over 25 years. He is known on several continents for his thoughtful and deeply expressive performances of the standard repertoire as well as being a champion of newly-written works. He recently premiered a piano concerto composed especially for him and is comfortable in styles of music ranging from jazz and ragtime to more contemporary improvisational styles. \nHis program for OPA is entitled “The History of American Popular Piano Music”\, and includes such composers as Louis Moreau Gottschalk\, Scott Joplin\, Charles Ives\, George Gershwin\, Zez Confrey’s “Dizzy Fingers”\, Keith Jarrett and Billy Joel! \nTickets to this performance available now on this website. Tickets may also be purchased at the Ogunquit Camera Shop\, Dunaway Center\, Ogunquit Playhouse Downtown Box Office\, and Ogunquit Welcome Center beginning three weeks prior to the performance. Free parking for the performance is located behind the Dunaway Center. \nLopez has given recitals and performed in chamber ensembles and with orchestras in the United States\, Europe\, and Australia. His interpretation of Bach’s Goldberg Variations at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam received critical acclaim\, and a Los Angeles Times critic hailed the pianist for his “…musical perspective\, continuity\, and kaleidoscopic colors.” \nBorn in Brooklyn to Mayan parents\, George Lopez spent his childhood in Belize\, before his family moved to Texas\, where he began to play the piano at the rather late age of 11. He quickly discovered that he had a knack performing at the keyboard and\, by age 14\, he had won his first concerto competition; only two years later\, he received a full scholarship to the Hartt School of Music. A Franco-American study grant permitted graduate work in Paris\, and he completed his Master’s Degree cum laude at the Sweelinck Conservatory\, Amsterdam. \n \nThis year\, he has toured Philadelphia\, New York City\, the Bay Area\, Seattle\, Mexico and New England\, as well as making his first visit to Cuba recently to give masterclasses and concerts with the Aries Trio. His “Music in the Museum” series at Bowdoin College has consistently sold out to audiences who enjoy his creative and engaging lecture recitals on the relationship of music to art and ideas. He has also taken up the baton as conductor of the Bowdoin College Symphony Orchestra. \nhttps://www.bowdoin.edu/profiles/faculty/glopez/index.html \nOur Piano Festival honors the memory of Elizabeth Dunaway Burnham\, founder and first chairperson of Ogunquit Performing Arts. A pianist herself\, Betty studied\, performed and taught piano for most of her life. She also saw to it that OPA acquired its spectacular Steinway Concert Model C Grand Piano\, which still remains OPA’ greatest treasure.\nBook online now!

SUMMARY:13th Annual Elizabeth Dunaway Burnham Piano Festival Janice Weber
DESCRIPTION:International concert pianist Janice Weber returns to Ogunquit with a virtuoso evening entitled “A Night at the Movies”\, offering a dazzling array of classic themes from classic films including The Birds\, Dr. Zhivago\, and a special salute to Hamilton! \n \nWorld-class pianist Janice Weber returns for her fourth appearance in Ogunquit\, this time bringing with her a dazzling program of Pops Classics associated with a variety of great films. This vivacious performer has a reputation for programing the most exciting and technically challenging selections – which will no doubt apply even to this lighter program! \n“Ms. Weber is also a concert pianist of cliffhanging panache and daredevil brilliance.” Ellen Pfeifer\, The Wall Street Journal  \nTickets to this performance available now on this website. Tickets may also be purchased at the Ogunquit Camera Shop\, Dunaway Center\, Ogunquit Playhouse Downtown Box Office\, and Ogunquit Welcome Center beginning three weeks prior to the performance. Free parking for the performance is located behind the Dunaway Center. \nA summa cum laude graduate of the Eastman School of Music\, Janice Weber has performed at the White House\, Carnegie Hall\, Wigmore Hall\, National Gallery of Art\, and Boston’s Symphony Hall. She has appeared with the Boston Pops\, Chautauqua Symphony\, New Jersey Symphony\, Hilton Head Orchestra\, Sarajevo Philharmonic\, and Syracuse Symphony. She has performed at the Bard\, Newport\, La Gesse\, Husum\, and Monadnock summer festivals and has twice toured China under the auspices of the American Liszt Society. \nHer world premiere recording of Liszt’s 1838 Transcendental Etudes elicited acclaim from Time Magazine: “Liszt later simplified these pieces into the still ferociously difficult Transcendental Etudes (1852 version) for fear that no one else could play them. There may now be several fire-eating piano virtuosos who can execute the original notes\, but few can liberate the prophetic music they contain as masterfully as Janice Weber does here.” \nMs. Weber recorded Liszt’s last Hungarian Rhapsody\, one of only two living pianists to be included in a compendium of historic performances by nineteen legendary artists. This disc subsequently won the International Liszt Prize. \n \nHer recordings also include Rachmaninoff’s complete transcriptions; with the Lydian Quartet\, Leo Ornstein’s vast Piano Quintet; flute and piano works of Sigfrid Karg-Elert; and waltz transcriptions of Godowsky\, Rosenthal\, and Friedman.\nHer Naxos recording of Leo Ornstein’s radical works introduced the charismatic composer to a worldwide audience. She is heard in Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time on Ongaku Records and her newest disc\, Cascade of Roses (Dorian Sono Luminus)\,features works of twenty-one composers from Adolf Jensen to Billy Mayerl. \nShe is a member of the piano faculty at Boston Conservatory and MIT. \nMs. Weber is also a published author. Her novels\, most of which have something to do with music\, have a worldwide following. She also produced the tones for Ivory\, the worldwide bestselling virtual piano software. \nShe is a Steinway artist. \nwww.janiceweber.com \nOur Piano Festival honors the memory of Elizabeth Dunaway Burnham\, founder and first chairperson of Ogunquit Performing Arts. A pianist herself\, Betty studied\, performed and taught piano for most of her life. She also saw to it that OPA acquired its spectacular Steinway Concert Model C Grand Piano\, which still remains OPA’s greatest treasure.\nBook online now!
