Having debuted at the Kiev Philharmonic Hall at the age of 12, rising star Pavel Gintov has been described as “a poet of the keyboard” by Marty Lash of the Illinois Entertainer and as a “musical storyteller” by the Japanese publication Shikoku News. The spring season features two other exceptional performances.

On Sunday April 19, internationally renowned keyboardist, Anthony Newman, who has been called “the high priest of Bach,” by Wynton Marsalis, will present his own transcription of Bach’s Goldberg Variations, and the Chromatic Fantasy & Fugue.

The season concludes on Sunday, May 10 in a concert that features the internationally renowned Steinway artist Jeffrey Biegel presenting “The Romantic Virtuoso,” works by Beethoven, Liszt and Chopin. All concerts are on Sunday at 3 pm and are immediately followed by a artists wine and cheese reception at the Church courtesy of the Horse & Hound Inn, which is just across the street from the Sanctuary in the heart of the historic Hamlet.
