The electric virtuosity of Relâche pianist Ron Stabinsky comes to the stunning and historic German Society of Pennsylvania, the rich tone of its rare Bösendorfer grand piano filling the nearly 200 year-old building known for its striking acoustics. The program will explore connections between centuries-old compositional aesthetic, and the composers of our time who have reimagined these styles alongside contemporary influences.

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of its composition, Ron will perform Igor Stravinsky's Serenade in A, a neo-classical work evoking the Nachtmusik tradition of Mozart and others in the 18th century. The program also features the World Premiere of four suites for solo piano composed by Relâche bassoonist Chuck Holdeman in neo-baroque style, inspired by the dance suites of J. S. Bach.
