Cultural Attache James Wolfe announced that American pianist David Northington will perform a piano recital at the Fryderyk Chopin Institute’s Zamek Ostrogskich (ul. Okólnik 1) in Warsaw Tuesday May 23 at 19:00. Professor Northington’s program will feature selected pieces from the works of Aaron Copland and Fryderyk Chopin. At his New York debut recital at Carnegie Recital Hall, the New York Times called David Northington “an immensely gifted musician…who combines the technical mastery of a virtuoso with the musical sensitivity of a poet.” David Northington’s masterful pianism has won him first prizes in the Concert Artists Guild Competition, the East/West Artists Competition, the American Music Scholarship Association’s International Competition, the unanimous Judges Prize at the Fourth Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition, and selection to the Artistic Ambassador Program sponsored by the United States government. This spring, there will be an international release of Dr. Northington’s compact disc recording of the waltzes of Chopin on the Centaur Records label. Presently he is a Professor of Piano at the University of Tennessee School of Music in Knoxville.

Dr. Northington will also play Monday May 22 in Pułtusk at the Paderewski Concert Hall at Dom Polonii at 20:00 and Thursday May 25 in Katowice at the Katowice Music Academy at 19:00. He will offer a Master Class for music students at the Zamek Ostrogskich in Warsaw from 14:30 to 16:30. Admission to all events is free. Contact: Izabella Szarek: tel.
