Northwest and internationally-acclaimed pianist Kay Zavislak presents a solo concert at San Juan Community Theatre on Saturday, January 28 at 7:30 p.m.

Zavislak’s “Winter Moonlight” features an interesting mix of miniatures and masterworks, highlighting various musical eras and styles ranging from the sublime Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven, to jazzy Gershwin and the epic Dante Sonata by Liszt.

Zavislak, who lives in Bellingham where she teaches at Western Washington, enjoys a multi-faceted career as a performer, teacher, adjudicator and clinician.  Spending her formative years in Japan, she attended the Toho Gakuen High School of Music, one of the most prestigious conservatories in Japan.  As a performer, she has given solo recitals and chamber concerts regionally and nationally, in addition to public performances in Australia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan and Poland. In collaboration with flutist Leonard Garrison and saxophonist Bill Perconti, Zavislak has also recorded two commercial CDs for Centaur Records. 

The Business Partner for the evening is Friday Harbor Grand Bed & Breakfast. Tickets are $18 for adults; $9 for student reserved, with $5 student RUSH at the door.
