Robert Silverman, classical pianist at the New Life Brethern Church.
Tickets are $32.00 and show starts at 7PM. In a world that sees
wunderkinds of the piano come and go, Robert Silverman has reached a level
of musical and technical authority that can only be accomplished after
years of deep commitment to the instrument and its vast literature. Many
aspects of Silverman’s playing are frequently noted: a polished technique,
an extraordinary range of tonal palette, an uncanny ability to sing his
way into the heart of a phrase, and his probing interpretation of the most
complex works in the repertoire. The distinguished pianist has performed
in concert halls throughout North America, Europe, the Far East and
Australia. Under the batons of such renowned conductors as Seiji Ozawa,
John Eliot Gardiner, Gerard Schwarz, Neeme Järvi, Sergiu Comissiona,
Zdenek Macal, and the late Kiril Kondrashin, he has performed with
orchestras on three continents, including the Chicago Symphony, the Sydney
Symphony, the BBC (London) Symphony, the St. Petersburg Philharmonic
Orchestras, and every major orchestra in Canada. |

A hit
musical, its an endearingly funny play and romantic story about a
conservative and methodical established composer and his relationship with
a scatterbrained eccentric aspiring young female lyricist. Their
professional success leads to romance with comical results as they attempt
to blend their distinctly different personalities and temperaments. They
