    Hello Groupmusers,

    Please join me on December 14 for a performance by Pianist Liana Pailodze Harron who will be playing music from her home country of Georgia. She will also treat us to Aaron Copland's "Appalachian Spring".

    Dr. Liana Pailodze Harron, blending her Georgian heritage with an American spirit, captivates audiences with daring performances that breathe life into contemporary classical music. Praised by Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Tim Page of The Wall Street Journal as 'smashingly effective,' her latest album with Vesna Duo mesmerized audiences, showcasing her passionate interpretations. With performances at esteemed venues like Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the United Nations, Liana is dedicated to pushing musical boundaries through diverse collaborations, including soloist appearances with orchestras and recent ventures into contemporary works with saxophonist Dr. Thomas A. Giles. Beyond her performances, she is a dedicated educator, sharing her musical wisdom through applied music lessons and sought-after masterclasses at universities across the United States. Holding a Doctor of Musical Arts Degree in Piano Performance from the prestigious Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, Liana continues to inspire both audiences and aspiring musicians alike.

    Liana's intro to the first half of the program:
    "The album is inspired by the deep-rooted folk traditions of my homeland. This collection of 12 pieces pays homage to Georgian classical composers, weaving together compositions steeped in ancient history, legends and folklore."
