SUMMARY:Piano Monster
DESCRIPTION:
 A festive gala with eight grand pianos played 
 simultaneously by renowned pianists - this dazzling 
 musical extravaganza is a concert like 
 no other! Perfect for Mother's Day.\n
 \n
 Artists, 
 including Michael Callahan, Sangmi Lim, Panayis 
 Lyras, Deborah Moriarty, Alan Nathan, 
 Derek Polischuk, Minsoo Sohn, and Ralph Votapek, 
 will perform all types of arrangements including 
 Camille Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the 
 Animals, narrated with Ogden Nash's playful verses 
 by Kenneth Beachler, well-known Lansing 
 entertainment professional. \n
 \n
 This piece, 
 a zoological fantasy written orginally for a 
 small chamber orchestra, is considered one of 
 the most successful examples of humourously 
 themed music in the classical repertory and has 
 become one of the composer's most popular 
 works. It consists of a set of 14 orchestral 
 character pieces, each meant to describe a particular 
 animal, usually by mimicking the sounds 
 it makes or characterizing the way it moves 
 or carries itself.\n
 \n
 The program will finish 
 with an inspiring rendition of Stars and 
 Stripes Forever by John Phillip Sousa.\n
