Concert: David Saliamonas, piano

Join us at 7:30 pm in the Performance Hall and streaming for a concert by pianist David Saliamonas. A native of Glen Ellyn, Ill., David Saliamonas taught himself to play by ear and to improvise at the age of five.  Eventually, his musical education led him to a scholarship at the Manhattan School of Music, where he received both his Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees.  His teachers have included Eugene Istomin, Robert Goldsand, David Buechner, William Browning, and Ann Schein.  He has also studied conducting, notably in Budapest with Yuri Simonov and in Salzburg with Hans Zender.  After having lived for several years in New York, he currently makes his home in Paris. The program will include pieces by Chopin, Beethoven and Gershwin.
