The University of Baltimore presents a free concert by Anne Rainwater, a San Francisco-based pianist, performing music by Maurice Ravel, Franz Schubert, Danny Clay, and UBalt faculty member Ian Power. This concert is free and in-person, with masking encouraged.
The cornerstone of the concert will be Power’s large work Ave Maria: Variations on a Theme by Giacinto Scelsi, which takes a melody by the Italian composer and augments it and distorts it through meditative and penitent variations.
Rainwater will also perform Ravel’s Sonatina, Schubert’s B-flat Impromptu, and Danny Clay’s Ten Pages for piano and electronics.
The concert is supported by the Peggy and Yale Gordon Charitable Trust, which has supported the advancement of classical music in Baltimore for the past 35 years. Please address any inquiries to Ian Power, at ipower@ubalt.edu, or 585-746-1930.
