Event
The Complete Chopin Cycle with Pianist David Rothman
Tickets available on-line until 4:00pm day of the show. After 4:00pm TICKETS CAN BE PURCHASED AT THE DOOR AT 7PM.
It has been a life-long dream of pianist David Rothman to perform all of the solo compositions of Chopin, and now, in a series of concerts, occurring every other Wednesday through April 22, it has finally come to fruition.
David Rothman was born in Toronto, Canada in 1962. When he was ten years old he was awarded a piano scholarship, in open competition, to study at the Yehudi Menuhin School, Surrey, England. Members of the jury included Yehudi Menuhin and Nadia Boulanger. Among his teachers at the Menuhin School were Louis Kentner and Vlado Perlemuter. At age seventeen he won a piano scholarship to study at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, where he was a student of Mieczyslaw Horszowski and Seymour Lipkin.
David Rothman presently lives in Portland, Oregon and is a frequent guest artist on The Old Church's Sack Lunch Concert Series. Performing the complete works of Frédéric Chopin has been one of his goals and it is quite a monumental task. In the course of this series, David will perform 51 Mazurkas, 24 Studies, 24 Preludes, 19 Nocturnes, 4 Ballades, 4 Scherzos, 4 Impromptus, 7 Polonaises, 14 Waltzes, one Berceuse, one Fantaisie, and one Barcarole.
