Fantasies and Dreams Piano Recital by Elayne Laussade

Description

Australian concert pianist Elyane Laussade will be spending several weeks this coming February presenting performances in Central NY. A graduate of the Juilliard school in New York City, pianist Elyane Laussade has delighted audiences on five continents with her imaginative and strongly individual playing. The New York Times has said she is “a pianist with a powerful, polished technique and many an original interpretive notion…. with an impeccable sense of style and dazzling power.” Originally from the USA, she is now based in Melbourne and has established herself as one of Australia’s finest performers. On Saturday, February 15 at 3:00 PM, The Clinton Symphony Orchestra of the Mohawk Valley (CSOMV), in collaboration with Zion Episcopal Church of Rome, will present Laussade in a solo recital at the church, at 140 W. Liberty St., Rome. The program, titled “Fantasies and Dreams” includes music of Mozart, Schubert, Bach, Greenbaum, Faure, Liszt, and Verdi. All of the dreamy selections on the program are free-flowing compositions with an air of improvisational flair. The concert is a benefit for the CSOMV, with free will donations gratefully accepted at the door.
