Renowned Binghamton-area pianist to perform free show in Norwich on Monday
NORWICH – The Monday Evening Music Club, currently in its 108th year, is pleased to announce renowned Binghamton-area pianist Rick Pedro will perform a free concert in Norwich on Monday, October 2.
The concert will take place at the United Church of Christ at 7:30 p.m. and was made possible thanks to a Decentralization Grant from Chenango Arts Council and the NYS Council on the Arts.
The MEMC calls Pedro's performance style as “diverse,” in that his repitoire encompasses patriotic favorites, modern classics, Dixieland jazz, and Chicago-style ragtim.
“He blends all of this with a sparkling sense of humor, and is a true entertainer,” said Anita Humer with the MEMC.
“ Rick is passionate about supporting our Veterans, through philanthropy, benefit concerts, and patriotic performances, including playing for the National Organization of The American Legion at their convention in Cincinnati, Ohio.”
While admission is free, the MEMC will accept free-will donations of any amount to support its scholarship funds.
The scholarship program was created in 1954 for graduating seniors who pursue a major in a music related field. More recently in 2013, the MEMC started a scholarship fund to support students who could use financial assistance paying for private lessons.
The MEMC has a strong tradition of organizing performances that feature renowned pianists and piano teachers. Humer said Pedro both continues this tradition, and also provides a unique interpretive spin considering his expertise across so many musical styles.
“This performance will entertain and delight all––no matter their age, background, or expectations,” said Humer. “You won't want to miss it.”
The United Church of Christ is located at 11 West Main Street in Norwich.
