Oliver Moore: Magic of Chopin

April 12, 2024 at 7:30pm

Doors open at 7

Pilgrim Congregation Church

2850 Foothill Blvd. Redding, CA 96001

Oliver Moore, dramatic young pianist and frequent PAS performer will present "Magic of Chopin" with a display of forms such as Impromptu, Scherzo, Nocturne, Mazurka, Ballade, Waltz, Etude and Sonata. Oliver currently studies with Garrick Ohlsson at the San Francisco Conservatory.  Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849) revolutionized the possibilities of the piano. Born in Poland, Chopin assimilated the folk music of his homeland as well as the music of masters such as J.S. Bach, Mozart, Italian opera composers, and salon composers. In 1830, he would leave Poland, never to return due to Russian oppression (after his death he would be buried in Paris, with his heart returned to Warsaw). Composer Robert Schumann described Chopin’s music as containing “cannons buried in flowers.” On the surface, his music displays great refinement, beauty, and charm, but underneath can be found deep passion and revolutionary fervor.
