Music: Sun Oct 23

Solo piano works by Unitarian composers of Christian origins are featured this Sunday at CUUC. Edvard Grieg’s charming Lyric Pieces are frequently influenced by Norwegian folklore, and much of Béla Bartók’s output reflect the composer’s research into traditional Eastern European music. Arthur Foote was organist the First Unitarian Church of Boston for 32 years, although his music seems most heavily indebted to European late-Romantic references. Read on for programming details.
