Award-winning American concert pianist Rob Auler will perform in View’s Gould Hall on their new Steinway on Sunday, July 8, at 2 p.m.
His program, titled, “From Europe to America”, will include pieces by Liszt and Mendelssohn that exemplify the romanticism in Europe during the 19th century.
The program will also include Mendelssohn’s Variations Seriueses, which received rave reviews in the Ann Arbor News.
The second half of the program will include selections from Auler’s newly released CD, American Century, which features music of the last 100 years from American composers that include George Gershwin and Samuel Barber, as well as newly composed pieces by Rudolph Hakan, Jonathan Pieslak and Carter Pann.
