Celebrate the Tenth Anniversary of The Rose Buck-Lew Family Piano Scholarship Endowment Fund at Howard Community College

Take in the artistry and amazing collaboration of Howard Community College’s (HCC) piano faculty, then enjoy a delicious dinner and wine, at the tenth anniversary fundraiser for the Rose Buck-Lew Family Piano Scholarship Endowment, held at HCC on October 16, 2016.

The program features works for solo piano, piano duet, piano duos, and a five-piano ensemble performed by HCC’s piano faculty, including the Accordare and Octtava Piano Duos, Hsiu-Hui Wang, Marian Buck-Lew, and Sangmi Yoon. Works by Ravel, Bolcom and Columbia’s very own Ton Benjamin will be performed. The highlight of the concert will be the premiere performance of a five-piano arrangement of the first movement of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, arranged by Professor N. Jan Tan. Professor Tan is the only Steinway Artist recognized solely for her pedagogical work.

The concert begins at 4 p.m. in the Smith Theatre. Dinner follows at 6:30 p.m. in the Kittleman Room, located in Duncan Hall. Tickets for concert cost $50 for general admission, $40 for HCC staff and 60-plus seniors, and $30 for HCC students. The cost for concert and dinner is $100 for general admission, $80 for HCC staff and 60-plus seniors, and $60 for HCC students. Note that only 100 tickets are available for the performance and dinner.

In addition, five donated pianos will be available for sale immediately following the performance.

More than 100 people are expected to attend the event, which has currently raised over $10,000.
