Pianist Matthew Bengtson to Perform at Commonwealth University-Bloomsburg
PA (09/11/2024) — Pianist Matthew Bengtson will give a free solo piano concert at Commonwealth University-Bloomsburg on Sunday, Sept. 22, at 2:30 p.m. in Carver Hall's Gross Auditorium.
A unique and highly virtuosic program will feature Transcendental Etudes by Liszt with transcendental etudes written in the early 1900s by Sergei Lyapunov and others recently written by Roberto Sierra.
Critically acclaimed as a "musician's pianist," Matthew Bengtson has a unique combination of musical talents ranging from extraordinary pianist to composer, analyst, and scholar of performance practice. He has been presented in concerts as a La Gesse Fellow in France, Germany, Italy, and Hungary, Washington, DC, at Monticello, and in solo recitals at Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall. He has also performed as a soloist with numerous orchestras and has appeared with violinist Joshua Bell on NPR's "Performance Today" and XM Satellite Radio's "Classical Confidential." His recordings are on the Romeo, Arabesque, Albany, Musica Omnia, Griffin Renaissance, and Navona record labels.
A masterclass will follow the concert and will feature local piano student Richard Qian performing Scriabin's Sonata-Fantasy No. 2 in G-Sharp Minor, Op. 19.
