Alon Goldstein kicks off Sant Bani School concert season Friday, Sept. 29

Israeli pianist Alon Goldstein will begin the fourth year of the Sant Bani Chamber Music Series with a program of Bach, Beethoven, and Schumann on Friday, Sept. 29, at the school’s Studio Theater. There is a reception at 6 p.m., and the concert is at 7 p.m.

The Studio Theater, noted for its fine acoustics, provides a unique opportunity for Lakes Region music lovers to hear world-class musicians perform in an intimate setting, in size not unlike that in which these chamber pieces were first played centuries ago.

Goldstein earned his masters degree from the Peabody Conservatory, where he worked closely with Leon Fleisher. In recent seasons, Goldstein played with the Philadelphia, San Francisco, Houston, Baltimore, Vancouver, and Saint Louis orchestras.

The Sant Bani School is an independent kindergarten through 12th grade day school.

Other chamber performances this season are: Dec. 1, Cypress String Quartet with Amit Peled (cello) plays Haydn, Griffes, and Schubert jointly presented with Franklin Opera House at the Opera House. March 16: Daniel Del Pino (piano) Katie Lansdale (violin), and Amit Peled (cello) play a program of Cassado, Kodaly, Brahms, and Dvorak. April 6: Carthage Consort, a viola da gamba trio, with Frances Fitch, harpsichord, play Lawes, Jenkins, and Purcell, music of England from the 1600’s.
