SUNSET CONCERTS – A FABULOUS SEASON IS UNDERWAY
October marked the beginning of the Sunset Concerts in the Gallery season. We started off strong
with The Music of Michael Daugherty. The music of local composer Dr. Daugherty was performed by many
musicians from this area, including flutists Gabbi Small, Adriana Varn, the Gunter Family Trio, and pianist
Addison McGee.
November was a special month as we were entertained by several of the 2018 nominees of the
mARTies Awards. Performing were Charlotte Strohl, Samantha Stewart, Sophie McClung, Julia Vitale, Brooke
Gunter, Rowdy Carlton and Lorrianna Collozzo.
December followed strong with Blessings, Bernstein, and the Beatles! featuring pianist Marie
Jureit-Beamish, Professor Emerita of Music at Principia College and former Charles Stewart Harding
Mott Distinguished Professor of Music, who presented a concert highlighting spirited and uplifting music
celebrating two of the most significant musicians of the twentieth century—American conductor and
composer Leonard Bernstein (1918-2018) and the revolutionary Beatles from England.
The new year brought us pianist Lindsay Garritson, who is soon to complete her doctorate from
the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, and is internationally recognized having soloed with
orchestras around the world.
