Music & Literature: A Rochester Piano Club and Writers & Books Collaboration
November 10, 2019 @ EST 3:00 am - 6:00 pm
UURoc: First Universalist Church of Rochester, NY
Free and open to the public.
Music and literature have a long history together – telling tales, passing on experiences, adding depth and emotion to a story. We’re exploring this intersection between the written word and piano music with a collaboration between two Rochester organizations – Writers and Books and the Rochester Piano Club.

A short story accompanied by the music of Chick Corea’s ‘Children’s Songs’

A poem written in the voice of the pianist set to Tchaikovsky’s ‘Morning Prayer’.
•
Kathleen Toole / RPC & Kitty Jospe / WAB-RPC
In exploring commonalities in history at age 10, and in memory of our grandparents, we combine in our piano-poetry collaboration based on Schumann’s ‘Scenes of Childhood’
•
George Daddis / RPC & Kitty Jospe / WAB
A short story inspired by Rachmaninov’s ‘Prelude in D Op. 23 No. 4’
•
Kalen Winfrey / RPC & Lucy Luoxin / WAB
A recitation of the poem Autumn Rain followed by Liszt’s ‘Valley of Obermann’.
