UK Piano Studio Fall Concert "Making Music to Be Seen"

A concert featuring the talents of students in University of Kentucky’s Piano Creativity Lab aims to delight audiences not only with sounds, but imagery as well. This free public concert, “Making Music to Be Seen”, will begin 7:00 p.m., Nov. 25, at the Singletary Center for the Arts Recital Hall.

Along with some beautiful music by such celebrated composers as Alexander Scriabin, Franz Liszt, Claude Debussy, Francis Poulenc, J.S. Bach, William Gillock and others, students will display their creativity in “seeing music through pictures.” Each student composed a story for the piece and then selected visual images which best represent the story.

The concert will feature selections by both undergraduate and graduate students.

The UK Piano Creativity Lab is proud to have produced more than 30 winners of international and state music competitions, including the Vancouver International; Grand Prize Virtuoso International; Concert Artists International; Worls Grand Prix International Music Contest; American Protégé International Competition; the Kentucky Music Teachers Association Young Artist competition, as well as multiple winners of UK’s Concerto Competition. To date, eleven current and former UK students of the piano program performed solo at Carnegie Hall.

“While our students are trained in piano performance, they also get an intensive training in creativity and resourcefulness,” said Professor of Piano Irina Voro. “These skills help students adapt to the current demands of the job market and life in the fast-changing internationalized world.”
