Most of us are familiar with the piano from home or school or childhood music lessons, but how much do you really know about this amazing instrument and the range of sounds it can create? Cleveland Institute of Music faculty member Marshall Griffith will give a brief history of this most versatile of instruments as well as a demonstration of ranges and textures. We’ll even celebrate Beethoven’s 250th birthday year with performances of Symphonic and Sonata excerpts with violinist Kallen Bierly.
