March 26th Concert!

Put yourself in The Center on March 26, 2011!

Delight in the music of Frank Lévy: A classical pianist who is an absolute artist!
The Celebration Room at The Center at Maple Grove will be alive with the amazing music of Frank Lévy on Saturday, March 26, 2011, at 7:00pm. The second concert in The Lhévinne Classical Concert Series will honor the lives of
Rosina and Josef Lhévinne, world-class Russian pianists and Julliard School teachers, interred together at Maple Grove. We are pleased that Frank Lévy has prepared an exciting concert program by Schubert, Chopin, Rachmaninov, Liszt, including several of the Lhévinne’s favorites.

Swiss-born, Frank Lévy is an internationally acclaimed classical artist who has a special place in his heart for Kew Gardens, Queens, his home from 2007 to January 2011. He has dazzled audiences and critics at Avery Fisher Hall in New York, Queens Elizabeth Hall in London, Royce Hall in Los Angeles, the Stadthaussaal in Wintherhur, Gusman Hall in Miami, Royce Hall in Los Angeles and The Gardner Hall in Salt Lake City. He has performed under the batons of Louis Langrée, Mehli Mehta, Paul Dunkel, David Josefowitz, Cornelia Kodkani-Laemmli, Ya-Hui Wang, Martin Stüder and other conductors. Frank Lévy is thrilled to be returning to Kew Gardens to entertain at Maple Grove!
At Frank Lévy’s "center" is a love for performing and teaching. David Dubal (broadcaster, author, performer, teacher) writes, "Frank Lévy is completely an artist spirit, who respects his students, who inspires them and understands through his stage experience as a soloist and chamber player the many things that only an experienced stage performer can impart." Frank Lévy is celebrating his 30th year of teaching and receives as much inspiration from his students as they
receive from him. "I help people to find their voice. It is a great honor to participate in the artistic life of our future." Frank Lévy brings all of his life experience and talents to his students and to his audiences.

Please join us on Saturday, March 26, at The Lhévinne Classical Concert Series. We will be celebrating love, talent, our lovely guests, the spirit of the Lhévinnes, and beautiful music! It will be a night to remember!
