On Sunday, Nov. 2 at 2 pm, the Lincoln City Cultural Center welcomes pianist and educator Anne Denis for Silhouettes in Sound, a one-of-a-kind lecture and performance program that explores the stories and inspirations behind 3 pioneering women composers of the late-Romantic/early modern period whose works were historically marginalized but are now gaining overdue recognition. Please join us to rediscover the music of Mel Bonis, Dora Pejačević, and Florence Price for this one-of-kind free concert.Anne Denis, a pianist and teacher based in Beaverton, Oregon, has built a career on combining artistry with insight. A native of Buffalo, New York, Denis pursued her musical dreams at the State University of New York College at Fredonia (Bachelor of Music, Piano Performance), continued at The Ohio State University (Master of Music), and completed doctoral coursework at the University of Memphis. Since moving to the Pacific Northwest in 2010, she has remained active as both performer and teacher, operating a thriving home piano studio and inspiring students of all ages.
Anne’s dedication to uncovering overlooked voices in music history has brought her international recognition. Denis has recently performed the works of Florence Price in the UK and France, competed in the Brahms International Piano Competition in Austria, and completed the distinguished Tholen Fellowship through Portland Piano International. She has also served on the college piano faculty at Villa Maria College in Buffalo and worked as a graduate teaching assistant during her studies.
In Silhouettes in Sound, Denis combines live performance with lecture, guiding audiences through works that cast distinctive musical “portraits” and “shadows.” With her characteristic warmth and clarity, she reveals how composers across centuries have used melody and harmony to capture people, places, and fleeting emotions.
“Anne has that rare ability to make classical music both accessible and deeply moving,” said Jason Corso, program coordinator at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. “We’re thrilled to host her and to offer this program as a gift to our community.”
