Shalin Liu Performance Center
So often we think of Europe having an exclusive on great recital halls. Not so if you find yourself at the Shalin Liu Performance center in Rockport MA. How rare it is to play a recital with the sea at your back!
This has to be one the most inspiring environments I have played in. The wood and stone in addition to the glass behind the performer provide an exquisite acoustic.
Not only was I thrilled to perform there, but I had the impression the audience was happy just to be looking out at the water. The fact that they enjoyed the music of, among other composers, Bach and Mozart was a bonus!!
Encore I say!!!!!
Amazing Grace is an iconic melody to say the least. I have heard so many wonderful musicians sing and play this powerful tune through the years. The one that will always amaze me is Aretha Franklin’s version on her extraordinary recording Amazing Grace. In addition, I was very moved by the Bill Moyer’s documentary Amazing Grace. To launch this web site, I am giving away my arrangement. I would like to thank Joseph Shields for generously copying the arrangement.
