Richard Glazier is a master storyteller whose charming, insightful narration is the perfect accompaniment to his brilliant piano performances. Playing rare arrangements of the great Gershwin songs, and the complete solo piano version of Rhapsody in Blue, Glazier brings his audiences entertainment of the highest order. Included will be the story of twelve-year-old Richard's meeting with Ira Gershwin at Gershwin's home, after corresponding with the songwriter for over 3 years. Michael Feinstein says, "Richard Glazier has Gershwin in his soul." Join us for the soul-stirring, Gershwin concert and be privy to the Gershwins' story.<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br />September 16, Chicago Legend Corky Seigel and Chamber Blues arrives at the Sanfilippo home.<br /><br />"Gritty Chicago blues and rarefied classical chamber music might not seem like a match made in heaven," says the Chicago Tribune -- "until you've heard Corky Siegel bring the two together ... a crowning achievement." Is it blues, is it classical? Walking the line between Beethoven and B.B. King and armed with the creative genius and instrumental prowess that have defined his career for nearly four decades, Mr. Seigel has pioneered an original, genre-busting Chamber blues - a fresh, innovative sound capturing the sparkling qualities of classical music merged with the emotional melodic style of blues, all within an intimate chamber setting. Under Corky's lead, The West End String Quartet and percussionist Frank Donaldson complete the Chamber Blues Band. Described by critics internationally as: remarkable, astonishing, extraordinary, hot, mesmerizing, joyous and outrageous fun, their music and concerts have delighted diverse audiences globally and their genre-defying presentations are drawing new and old concert-goers to places they have never been before.Gardenia C.
