Duo Piano Concert Featuring the Fazioli Grands

The University of Louisiana at Monroe School of Visual and Performing Arts will present a concert featuring their two Fazioli Grand Pianos on Tuesday, October 14th in the Emy-Lou Beidenharn Recital Hall. Immediately following the concert will be a reception with Mr. Paolo Fazioli in room 134 of Biedenharn Hall. The event is black tie optional and is $50 per person. There will be a brief social time beginning at 7 p.m. on the Veranda, and the concert begins at 7:30. Student musicians in a flute choir will entertain guests before the concert and at the reception a student string quartet will play.

The Fazioli Company has designed and produced grand and concert-grand pianos in its factory in Sacile, Italy since 1979-the year the company was founded by pianist and engineer Paolo Fazioli. Before January 2003, the only institutions in the U.S. that owned a Fazioli piano were found in Arkansas, California, Indiana, Iowa, Tennessee, South Dakota, Washington, and Utah. Now, ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ holds the distinction of being the only institution in the nation that owns two 9'2" Fazioli concert grands.

The concert will feature Donald Cornell, Deborah McClung-Guillory, Richard Seiler and Coralie White playing the Concert Fazioli Grand Pianos. RSVP to 318-342-1010 by Oct. 7. Proceeds from the event benefit the ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ School of Visual and Performing Arts.
