ALL SOULS CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
Arlan A. Baillie Steinway Concert
Featuring Olga Zhuravel Maselli
Sunday, June 23rd at 4:00 p.m.
On JUNE 23rd at 4:00pm our Steinway Concert Series will present an outstanding Ukrainian singer who lives in neighboring Dover-Foxcroft (who’d have guessed?!). We’ve heard of her impressive talent through Pastor Chad and his wife and daughter who have heard her sing and also worked with her. She has a long list of various operatic roles and performances on concert stages with well-known conductors. We are excited to introduce OLGA ZHURAVEL MASELLI to our Bangor area!
Please mark your calendars! Olga will sing arias of Puccini, Verdi, songs by Gershwin and Schubert, and also will present traditional songs and romances written by outstanding Ukrainian composers Lysenko, Poklad, Bilash and Skoryk. Olga’s accompanist, who works at USM, is Scott Wheatley, himself a singer, coach, and collaborative pianist.
Join us and share info about this free music event in the Meetinghouse at All Souls. This concert is open to the public and all are welcome.
Performances
Arlan A. Baillie Steinway Performance Series
The Arlan A. Baillie Steinway Performance Series consists of 3 or four piano performances annually, including instrumental performances with piano accompaniment, student piano performances, and occasional piano master classes. The events are all open to the public with no admission charge. The Arlan A. Baillie Steinway Piano is a gift to All Souls Congregational Church and the community from the Christopher Hutchins family in memory of Ruth R. and Curtis M. Hutchins. All costs for the piano and its programs are covered by an endowment fund created as part of the gift. One concert features special guests to display the Steinway — either solo or in an ensemble. There are guests from within the state of Maine as well as artists from other states. There is a fine variety from year to year.
Summer Musicale
Our Summer Musicale in July displays the remarkable talent of Kneisel Hall’s Young Artists who work intensively for 7 weeks, immersed in chamber music. They are some of today’s most gifted young artists — pianists and string players — and they play an outreach concert at All Souls Church with sponsorship from Congregation Beth Israel, The Bangor Symphony Orchestra, and the Arlan A. Baillie Steinway Series.
The Annual Student Performances
The annual Community Concert provides an opportunity for specially chosen students of area piano teachers. The students perform works of their own choosing with no restriction as to style. Piano teachers are invited to select up to three of their students of any age, who are showing good progress in their playing. The level of playing may be from novice to advanced. Piano teachers not already on our mailing list may receive registration materials by contacting the church office.
We maintain a separate mailing list for our Steinway Performance Series. If you would like to sign up for this list and receive notices about upcoming performances, you can do so here. For our general church email list use the button below.
