Peter Basquin plays at the Community Theatre this weekend!
This weekend there’s a special treat as a world famous piano virtuos comes to San Juan Island – here’s more from Jan Bollwinkel-Smith at the Community Theatre:
Internationally-Acclaimed Pianist on the Whittier Stage!
For a “little ol’ island” we sure get some great musical talents to visit us…and this Saturday, April 9 keeps proving that point when classical pianist Peter Basquin plays on the Whittier stage.
The New York resident has performed in concerts at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center and throughout the United States. He’s been a soloist with the Montreal, Quebec and Boston symphonies.
A past winner of the Montreal International Piano Competition, Peter has recorded music for Grenadilla records, Peters International, and New World Record and is heard in the premiere recording of Gerald Levinson’s Dreamlight, in Colin McPhee’s Tabuh-Tabuhan with the American Composers Orchestra, and on the soundtrack of Ken Burns’ films Baseball, Mark Twain and Brooklyn Bridge.
His Whittier stage program will feature keyboard masterpieces from Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, and Samuel Barber.
