Saturday, March 9th, 4pm: Paul Bisaccia will play Beethoven's "Waldstein" Sonata, plus Haydn, Czerny, Liszt, and Gershwin! Come join us at St. Matthew Lutheran Church for an afternoon of great music and fun.

Paul Bisaccia takes special pleasure in the exceptional musicians who taught him. His teacher, Luiz de Moura Castro, studied at the Franz Liszt Academy in Budapest with Joseph G*t. G*t’s teacher was Itsvan Toman, a favorite student of Franz Liszt. Liszt’s teacher in Vienna was the famous piano teacher Carl Czerny. Czerny was a favorite pupil of Beethoven. So, in 6 piano teacher generations, we are back to Beethoven. All these musicians were legendary pianists and piano teachers. We can go back one step further! Haydn taught Beethoven.

As a special homage to all of Paul’s “great great musical grandfathers” Paul will play a concert of music by Beethoven, Haydn, Czerny and Liszt. Bisaccia is also well known for his performances of Gershwin and was the first person in history to record all the solo piano music. He will also play a set of Gershwin songs to round out the afternoon.

The concert will have a screen and projector so everyone can see Paul’s hands up close as he performs. Included will be a little history, more humor and many anecdotes that make the men who made the music come alive for an evening.
