Free concert! David Feurzeig's "Play Every Town" tour in Berlin, at the Grange!

Please join us at 4pm on Sunday, August 21,2022 in welcoming the "Play Every Town Tour" to Berlin! Pianist David Feurzeig has played all over the world…but he has decided to change his performance schedule to align with the changes he sees are needed to reduce global warming. So instead of getting on a jet to distant countries, as he has done before, David (who teaches composition at UVM) is only playing concerts that he can get to using his (solar charged) electric car, or public transit. We are pleased that the Town of Berlin concert will be in our Grange Hall (capitalcitygrange.org)!

In honor of Hungarian composer and sometime summer Berlin resident Bela Bartok, concert #10 will include Berlin pianist Sylvia Parker in 4-hand arrangements of selections from Bartok's Mikrokosmos and a Hungarian Dance of Johannes Brahms, as well as David's own composition "Bela's Blues". Soprano and recent Berlin resident Grace Chris will join David for vocal selections. Solo piano works, including David's "Double Suite" interweaving Bach's Partita no. 1 with ragtime and other American vernacular dance pieces, will round out the program. Like every performance on the tour, this one will include Scarlatti keyboard sonata No.10 for this tenth concert in the project.

We invite you to stay afterward for the Community Potluck dinner at 5:30 PM, a Grange tradition that will give you a chance to: Meet some more friendly folks who like good music, and support community projects Taste other people's favorite dishes for sharing Show off your culinary specialities We also welcome last-minute pickups–ice cream, chips 'n' salsa, bread and cheese…there are so many good choices!

Enjoy the Grange's vintage dishes–no paper plates or plastic forks needed!

We hope you will join us!
