Pianist Diana Fanning at The Plainfield Opera House

Past event
May 21, 2023, 4 to 5:15 PM

One of the most accomplished pianists in Vermont, Diana Fanning has toured extensively as a solo performer and chamber musician throughout the U.S. and in England, France, Austria, Switzerland, Holland, the Czech Republic, Canada and Germany. In recent years she has performed at the Schloss Leopoldskron ("Sound of Music" castle) in Salzburg, and in Prague at the invitation of the International Dvorak Society. Ms. Fanning has performed on numerous occasions as a concerto soloist with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra. She was featured as soloist in a performance of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 in the debut concert of the Champlain Philharmonic Orchestra and was invited back for performances of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. After a solo recital in Munich, a critic wrote that "Diana Fanning stunned her listeners with the rich spectrum of subtle colors and tonal nuances she revealed. Her recital seized the audience with a veritable deep magic." "Vermont is most fortunate to have a pianist and musician with this level of insight and the ability to communicate it." "Fanning's technique is virtuosic, yet she uses it first for expression." ~Jim Lowe, Times Argus. On Sunday, Diana will perform works by Schubert, Chopin, Ravel and Boulanger.
