CUUC Music: Sun Oct 25

Join us this week for solo piano music by Unitarian composers. Several of Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg’s Lyric Pieces are featured, including the festive “Wedding Day at Troldhaugen.” Béla Bartók’s fascination with Eastern European folk idioms is represented by his “Rumanian Folk Dances”, and a charming, nostalgic “Romance” by Boston-based Arthur Foote, one of the original editors of the Unitarian Hymns of the Church Universal, opens the morning’s music.



If you’d like to hear more of this repertory performed by Adam Kent, and celebrate further the Unitarian musical heritage, consider attending the opening concert of this year’s Music at CUUC series on Sunday, November 8 at 1pm.
