Season 41 began on intimate terms, on a September afternoon at a private residence in South Santa Cruz County. The recital – Secret Lives of a Piano-featured virtuoso pianist Sarah Cahill, performing on a vintage 1868, nine-foot Steinway grand piano that was owned – and treasured – by the four composers who were featured in the program: Percy Grainger, Henry Cowell, Lou Harrison, and Philip Collins.
The afternoon was embellished further by savory hors d’oeuvres, compliments of Chocolate Restaurant.
The whole of it, sponsored by Hill Guitar Company.
