Rosa Scaffidi, Piano Recital, Wednesday 29 October, Methodist Centre

Chris from Lynmouth - Moturoa

The last lunchtime concert for 2025 at the Methodist Centre, is next Wednesday 29th October at 12.15pm.
This is a special concert featuring concert pianist Rosa Scaffidi playing Mussorgsky's famous composition, "Pictures at an Exhibition". This consists of 15 short movements of 2 minutes each. Each one of these movements describes a painting by his friend Victor Hartmann. When Hartmann died suddenly at the age of 39 his friends collected all of his paintings and put on an exhibition in memory of him. Mussorgsky wrote this music of this exhibition as a tribute. Many of these movements on their own have become well known tunes.
As a special feature of this concert, each painting that is described in the music will be shown on a video screen for each movement making this a memorable audio and visual experience. A Koha for local charities appreciated.
