Thursdays at 7pm: Will it be a Concert, a Performance, or a Theatrical Reading...?

Thursday, September 19th at 7pm, Black C Art is excited to present a special piano recital by Alex Kantchev, our new artist-in-residence. Alex has trained with Dr. Kevin Hampton of the Music Academy of Southeast Missouri University and Dr. Yuko Kato of Southern Illinois University. Currently, he’s a freshman at the University of Florida's School of Music and studying piano performance under the guidance of Dr. Jasmin Arakawa. He has also competed in prestigious piano competitions such as MMTA and MTNA.

The program highlights piano pieces from renowned composers:

• Etude op. 25 No 1 by Frédéric Chopin
