Door Concerts Presents Pianist Kate Boyd

Pianist Kate Boyd will be performing on the Door Concerts Inc. Recital Series October 8 at 7:30 pm at the Sturgeon Bay United Methodist Church, located at 836 Michigan Street in Sturgeon Bay. Admission is $15 or open to season ticket holders.

The program will feature Schubert’s A Major Sonata, George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, Chopin’s B Minor Sonata, and a short work by Irish composer Elaine Agnew, entitled “Seagull.”

Described by Gramophone Magazine as a pianist with a “strong lyrical bent and feeling for nuance,” Boyd’s solo and chamber music recitals have been heard throughout the United States, and in Canada, Ireland, and Germany.

Currently head of the piano faculty at Butler University in Indianapolis, Ind., Boyd also serves on the faculty of Interlochen Arts Academy in Northern Michigan. She has performed numerous times in Door County, most recently with the Oracle Trio, a piano trio of which she is a founding member.

Her solo CD, Music for the End of Winter, consisting of previously unrecorded works for solo piano by five living American composers, was released on the Ravello label in September 2010.
