Pianists Dr. Andrew, SFA professor of music, and Linda Parr, member of the Music Preparatory faculty, will present a duo piano recital at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 14, in Cole Concert Hall on the SFA campus.NACOGDOCHES, TEXAS—Dr. Andrew and Linda Parr will present a duo piano recital at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 14, in Cole Concert Hall as part of the Stephen F. Austin State University School of Music’s Cole Performing Arts Series.
For the Valentine’s Day recital, the couple has chosen to “dedicate the program to the love of music, performing music we love to play,” explained Andrew. “We hope our audience will find it a fitting way to celebrate the holiday.”
Major works on the program are W.A. Mozart’s “Sonata in D Major for Two Pianos, K. 448,” which Andrew described as “flashy, yet with considerable emotional depth,” and Sergei Rachmaninoff’s “Suite No. 2 for Two Pianos, Op. 17.”
“Besides the movement appropriately entitled ‘Romance,’ which recalls emotional qualities of Rachmaninoff’s famous second piano concerto, the suite features a March, a Waltz and a Tarantella,” said Andrew. “The pianos together reach almost orchestral effects.”
Works by Edvard Grieg and Maurice Ravel round out the program.
Andrew Parr, who joined the SFA faculty in 1983, has performed extensively in solo, chamber and concerto settings....
