•More Than a Piano Concert Unless you were raised on Mozart, Grieg and Rachmaninoff, you were a music novice the first time you attended a piano concert. Or, perhaps you have stayed away from classical music altogether because you were afraid it would be too stuffy or difficult to understand. The College of the Arts has good news for you--the return of International Steinway Artist Jeffrey Siegel's Keyboard Conversations® series at Kennesaw State University guarantees you three opportunities to enjoy classical music and learn about the composers, the music and much more in a fun, comfortable environment. The three-concert series will open with "Passions, Poetry—and Popularity!" at 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26 in Stillwell Theater. This concert with commentary by the artist includes Schubert's poetic, unfinished "Sonata in C," Beethoven's "Les Adieux" Sonata and Weber's "Invitation to the Dance." "Jeffrey Siegel really connects with his audience," says Joseph Meeks, Dean of the Kennesaw State College of the Arts. "He has a style and approach which makes it easy for people to understand the meaning of the music--particularly people who are just beginning to listen to classical music." Siegel's concerts are unique in that he shares insights with each piano piece. He carefully balances musicology with anecdotes to please both the novice and the seasoned listener. Focusing primarily on classical music, each Keyboard Conversations® concert concludes with a short question-and-answer period with Siegel. The other concerts in the series are "Lions of Lyricism" on Jan. 18 and "The Romanticism of the Russian Soul" on April 26. Tickets for each concert are $20. A season subscription for all three is $50. Faculty, staff and student discounts are available. For more information and reservations, call the KSU Box Office at 770-423-6650.
