Description

Eleven duo-pianists and a string quartet offer works for piano duet and multiple pianos, written by Bach, Kreisler, Mozart, Poulenc, Rachmaninoff and Ravel - and a world premiere by UCSC student, Ashley Tran. Performers are Alicia Bautista, Susan Bruckner, Aude Castagna, Esther Centers, Karen Cole, Tom Cole, Mary Jane Cope, Shannon Delaney, Nicki Kerns, Lynn Kidder, Lavinia Livingston, Ivan Rosenblum, Laura Rowe, Ashley Tran and Vlada Volkova-Moran.

Bach’s Triple Concerto in C Major will be played as a memorial tribute for our beloved colleague, Josephine Alvarado, who passed away last August unexpectedly.

Celebrate Piano Ensemble! (CPE), a project of the Santa Cruz County branch of Music Teachers Assn of CA, began in 1998 through the efforts of pianist Barbara Call to raise funds for the annual Talent Bank countywide competition. Barbara died, and by 2001 CPE nearly ended. It was through the energy and determination of Josephine Alvarado that CPE was saved. She brought CPE back to the stage in 2002, oversaw its administration until 2011, and actively participated until her death.

Donations of $10 are requested at the door. All proceeds will go to Talent Bank Awards Festival, which provides scholarships for Santa Cruz County music students. For more information, write to: [email protected].

Josephine was passionate about bringing music to everyone, about the music of Bach and about piano ensemble music. Her family has set up a Talent Bank scholarship fund in her name for the best performance of a piece by Bach. We invite those who knew Josephine or who believe in her passions to make a donation to the Josephine Alvarado Bach Scholarship. She has left a strong imprint on the musical activities of our community. The students and MTAC teachers who worked with her are enriched for having known her.
