Founding pianist Susan Svrcek was known for her elegant and insightful performances. As noted by Mark Swed in the LA Times, “Because she has probed so carefully into, and brought so many facets out of the massive repertory for the solo piano, one comes to her recitals with high expectations of new thrills, rediscovered gems, and unknown masterpieces.” Susan’s untimely passing in 2022 foreshadowed the passing of her beloved husband of 32 years, influential composer Frederick Lesemann, whose music she championed, and who wrote much of his later music for her. This concert is a love letter from Susan and Rick’s colleagues, students and friends, three of whom (Donald Crocket, Thomas Flaherty and Bill Alves have written ‘30 for 30’ pieces dedicated to them.
This concert is made possible by a generous donation by Susan and Rick’s good friends, Allan and Muriel Kotin.
