Piano Lunch is a new music series in Spokane hosted by pianist/composer Hsia-Jung Chang for music lovers who want to take a musical break during their lunch hour. The concerts feature 40 minutes of music and short commentary. Tickets at the door are $20 for General Admission, $15 for Musicians, Seniors, and Students.

Some of you may have seen Hsia-Jung’s one-woman show “Keys to Happiness” on KSPS-PBS, an innovative program which uses Classical music to convey simple philosophical ideas. A graduate of Spokane’s Shadle Park High School, Hsia-Jung’s musical career has taken her all around the world, playing solo piano concerts in the USA, Scandivia, Asia, France, and UK. She hosted several seasons of Piano Lunch Series in New York City, and co-hosted several seasons of Piano Passions, another New York artist-run series. Gramophone Magazine calls Hsia-Jung’s recording of the Chopin Etudes Op. 10 & Op. 25 “Good, honest Chopin!” Most of Hsia-Jung’s recordings are available on CDs, Bandcamp, iTunes, Spotify, and other streaming services.

The first concert of the season entitled “The Return” features 2 Sonatas of Scarlatti and Beethoven’s virtuosic “Waldstein” Sonata in which the composer joyfully explores the added features of his new Erard piano.

The Panhandle Symphony Orchestra is excited to perform their Fall Concert for the musical enjoyment of our great community. It will be held Tuesday, November 18, 7:00 pm at Lake City High School. Conductor, Tim Sandford has chosen some familiar pieces for our audience to enjoy, including songs from the well-known movie “Jurassic Park” which was released in 1993 and has won 3 Oscars as well as the BMI Film Music Award in 1994.

“Danse Macabre” by Camille Saint-Saens was written in 1874 and would go on to become his most famous tone poem. From the original art song for voice and piano, he expanded and reworked the piece into a symphonic poem, where a solo violin plays the vocal line.

Johann Strauss composed a very fun Polka called “Unter Donner und Blitz” which accompanies several Christmas themed songs that are in the performance, such as “Stille Nacht” which was recorded by Mannheim Steamroller and “Christmas at the Movies” which includes songs from The Polar Express and Miracle on 34th Street.

The orchestra will also be performing “Two Puccini Arias”, arranged by Chris Bernotas which includes “O Mio Babbino Caro” and “Nessun Dorma”, two of the composer’s most beloved arias. The orchestra members are proud to play this piece for the enjoyment of our audience.

Tuesday, November 18th, at 7:00 pm in the Lake City High School Auditorium, our organization’s volunteer community members will present this free concert for the enjoyment of the entire family. Doors open at 6:30 pm.

Celebrate the season with an unforgettable evening of music, community, and holiday cheer.
