Changes to our next St. Michael Concert Series Concert – The recital planned for Sunday, April 21 featuring cellist Dane Johansen of the Cleveland Orchestra has been postponed until next season. In his place, SMCS artistic director Michael Finlay will be performing AT 4:30 PM at St. Michael Church – a solo recital featuring Mozart Sonata K. 333, Chopin Ballade No. 4, and Liszt Sonata in b minor.

Please join us for a piano recital presented by our very own former Assistant Director of Music! – Fresh from his stunning performance of the Rachmaninoff Piano Concert No. 2, Michael is an internationally acclaimed concert pianist and chamber musician most recently invited to perform at the Dame Myra Hess series in Chicago. He is a 2022 prizewinner of the American Prize Ernst Bacon Memorial Award. An avid chamber musician, Finlay has performed with members of the Cleveland, Chicago, and Montreal Symphony orchestras as well as with members of the Kontras, and Korner quartets.

Mozart – Piano Sonata K. 333
Chopin – Ballade No. 4

Our concert series is dependent on free will donations – To continue to bring these talented artists to our community, sponsors and private donations are needed and welcome. Please contact treasurer Fran Fuehrmeyer at Franban1014@aol.com if you can assist with our endeavor. Thank You!
