Pianist Stephen Cook Performs at Knights of Pythias Hall

03/26/2011 19:30, Knights of Pythias Hall

Stephen Cook will perform an eclectic program of French, Russian and American music at the Knights of Pythias Hall as a preview to his final Doctoral recital at ASU.

The program will include Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit and Stravinsky's Trois Mouvements de Petrouchka. These epic works are monuments of the piano literature and legendary among pianists for their extreme technical difficulty.
In addition, Stephen will perform a recent ...work by Emmy Award winning Los Angeles composer Stephen Cohn entitled Seven Dances. Mr. Cohn was recently praised in the Huffington Post for his new Quartet entitled Winter Soul. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rodney-punt/the-eclipse-quartet-and-i_b_815966.html
