SUMMARY:Solo Piano Concert Season
DESCRIPTION:David Leighton\, a protégé of Alberta Masiello\, will be playing three concerts at the DiMenna this season. His first program will feature music by Bach\, Chopin and the Rachmaninoff Sonata Opus 36. Mr. Leighton’s career has spanned fifty years starting as a graduate of The Juilliard School of Music at 19 with his Master’s. Before graduating he was personally invited by Rafael Kubelik to join The Metropolitan Opera music staff. He spent the next ten years concertizing with Met Opera artists Pavarotti and Beverly Sills\, to name a couple\, as well as touring internationally for many more years with his own production company\, Operaworks. \nMr. Leighton and Ms. Masiello were both stars of the Texaco Radio Metropolitan Opera broadcasts\, and her technique and concepts influenced Leighton profoundly. She was a student of Anna Schön-René\, a notable Clara Schumann protégée\, and their operatic approach that Leighton continues is distinct for allowing the piano to sing effortlessly and connect with listeners in the most directly powerful way. \nFuture Concerts will take place on: February 11 & May 1
