Ladies Musical Club Birthday Bash Concert!
Free
Join us for two short concerts celebrating the birthday of the Ladies Musical Club of Seattle.
Set to a light and entertaining script, our program will include Prelude in C-sharp minor, one of Rachmaninoff’s most famous piano compositions, performed by Moscow Conservatory-trained Valentina Rodov, who was a 2011 Van Cliburn piano competition semi-finalist; a frisky saxophone quartet; exciting steel drummers; singers from B.F. Day Elementary School; "Summer" from Piazzolla’s The Seasons, a stirring trio for violin, cello and piano; and the bouncy spiritual, Ain’t No Grave Can Hold My Body Down.
The festive afternoon/evening event is hosted by MOHAI as part of its popular “First Thursday” free programs and will honor LMC and its immense contribution to Seattle’s musical scene. A birthday cake, celebrating the organization and its 125 years of music-making, will be cut on the outdoor Pavilion. Anniversary cupcakes will be available for all in attendance.
Two short historical music reviews in the atrium at 5pm and 6:30pm.
Free birthday cupcakes on the pavilion at 5:45pm.
