Louisiana Tech Concert Association will present its opening concert: Dr. Carolyn True, piano presenting “The Piano’s Voice: Song Without Words.”
Hailed as “an artist with commanding technique, always at the service of the music and capable of taming any tigers the composer has unleashed” (Windeler, San Antonio Express-News), Carolyn True is a pianist equally at home on the concert stage and in the teaching studio.
She walks the delicate balance between teaching at Trinity University in San Antonio giving workshops, master classes, seminars and adjudicating, and actively performing as soloist and chamber musician in the United States, Europe, India and Taiwan.
Her CD, “Carolyn True 1,” features works of Ligeti, Bach/Brahms, Beethoven, and Bennett.
True holds the Performer’s Certificate and the D.M.A. degree from the Eastman School of Music, an M.M. from the University of Maryland-College Park, and the B.M. from the University of Central Missouri –where in 2001, she was chosen as the Pi Kappa Lambda Distinguished Music Alumna — and was a prize-winner in national and international competitions. She was also the recipient of a Rotary Foundation Scholarship for study at the Conservatoire National de la Musique in Lyon, France.
Her concert draws from many eclectic sources with works organized: “Unfamiliar Voices,” “Expanding the Canon,” “Embracing the Traditional” and “Songs Without Words.”
The concert takes place at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 9, in Howard Auditorium.
In addition to her solo performance, she will also give a piano master class at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 10 in the Recital Hall of Howard Center for the Performing Arts. Both events are free and open to the public.
