Bethel Library To Host Debussy Piano Concert

BETHEL, CT - From Bethel Public Library: The Bethel Public Library is pleased to host "Debussy in a New Light" on Saturday May 4, 2:00 pm, in the Library's Maria Parloa Community Room. Join us and discover early 20th century French Impressionist music, played on a 21st century instrument! Howard Rovics will perform a keyboard recital of works by Claude Debussy on a Kurzweil Stage Piano that he has customized for his Debussy interpretations.

French Impressionist music was the beginning of a modern sound--daring, colorful, and appealing--and Mr. Rovics's Kurzweil piano is extraordinarily true to life. The instrument also can sound like a guitar ensemble, add subtle string-like warmth, mimic the percussive edge of the marimba, and produce bell-like sounds that ring with color that fascinates the ear. Mr. Rovics is a highly regarded composer-pianist who is happy to introduce the Bethel community to the music of Debussy on this amazing instrument!

The performance is co-sponsored by Bethel Arts, a community-based volunteer group that seeks to promote, build, and support all facets of the arts and creative culture in the town of Bethel,
Connecticut.
