South Worthington, Sevenars Music Festival

July 9, 2023 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm EDT

Welcome to the 55th Anniversary season of Sevenars!

August 20th, at 4 PM: Rorianne Schrade plays Rachmaninoff 150th anniversary concert

Rachmaninoff said “Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music” – and so true of his own music! Honoring the 150th birthday of the great pianist and composer, the season’s final program will consist of all Rachmaninov, plus Rachmaninoff transcriptions of Bach, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Moussorgsky, and Kreisler – and one final “kiss” from Leyetchkiss (a virtuoso transcription from Rachmaninoff’s Two Piano Suite Op. 17)! The pianist will be Rorianne Schrade, Steinway Artist and winner of over a score of musical awards (from Concert Artists Guild, Washington International, National Arts Club, Artists International, etc). American Record Guide stated that Rorianne’s playing of Rachmaninoff “ranks right up there with Bolet, Rodriguez, Wild, and Shelley at the top of the list,” and revered critic Harris Goldsmith (following one of her many recitals at Weill Hall, Carnegie Hall) praised her Rachmaninoff Sonata No. 2 for “delectable flair…a communicativeness that I do not remember having heard…a sensual quality I would not have thought possible…nuance and flexibility that had this listener thinking of Rachmaninoff’s own recordings.”
