Into the Night with Gershwin
7 pm Saturday, February 25, 2012
Thomas Pandolfi, pianist
 The acclaimed pianist Thomas Pandolfi, a leading interpreter of the works of George Gershwin, will perform "Rhapsody in Blue" and improvisations on six Gershwin favorites in addition to the Concerto in F (solo version) when he opens the Arts Alive season in 2012.
A graduate of The Juilliard School, Pandolfi earned both his Bachelor's and Master's degrees as a scholarship student. He tours extensively through the United States and abroad. Recent highlights have included the world premiere of British composer Simon Proctor's dazzling and unique "James Bond" Piano Concerto in London, debuts with The Cluj Philharmonic in Romania, The Great Falls Symphony (MT), The Allegro Chamber Orchestra (PA), The Memphis Symphony (TN), and The American Festival Pops Orchestra as part of the Gala Opening Night of Merchant Hall at the spectacular new Hylton Performing Arts Center in Virginia.
"Pandolfi's technique is brilliant. Every note, however fleeting, was cleanly and clearly stated, and themes rolled out of supporting structures, as clear as could be...the climax of the concert was the famed Rhapsody in Blue (in a solo arrangement created by Gershwin himself), performed with thrilling virtuosity. It was jazzy, it was classical, it was Gershwin, wonderfully done." Fredonia Post-Journal
