Pianist John Novacek makes his Pittsburgh solo recital debut for the Steinway Society of Western Pennsylvania! Earlier in the year, he visited Chamber Music Pittsburgh and attended recording sessions with Pittsburgh Symphony Violist Randolph Kelly. He discusses his many recordings including "Last Kiss" and "Classic Romance II" for the Four Winds label. John also traces his career from Los Angeles to teaching at the Mannes School to New York. He suggests that he is amazed at the talent on the scene today and certain that it makes the confusing world we live in a better place. John speaks with Jim Cunningham about his program including Schumann's Kreisleriana, the Bartok Sonata, the Bach Italian Concerto, Liszt's Liebestraum No. 3, and Rhapsodie espagnole. The concert takes place Sunday March 23rd, 3pm at the Kresge Theatre on the campus of Carnegie Mellon University. Visit https://www.sswpa.org/ to learn more and find tickets.
