With the tree up and presents wrapped, bring your family as well as the little ones to open your hearts to the beauty and true meaning of Christmas in charming, storybook Foxburg village, ablaze with thousands of Christmas lights and colorful decorations, as ARCA presents gloriously talented vocalists and pianists from the region in “A VICTORIAN CHRISTMAS” with Dennis Geib and Friends on Sunday, December 22 at 2 PM in Lincoln Hall. Students and children are free with adult tickets $15.
CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAYS with inspiring popular and classical Christmas favorites - vocal solos and duets, dazzling pianism and swinging Holiday jazz standards performed by pianist Dennis Geib with vocalists Kevin Downey, Jamie Bastello, and Teal Weatherley; vocalist/jazz pianist Nicholas Nasibyan; and pianists Oliver Wang and Evan Wolfgong.
Allegheny RiverStone Center for the Arts is proud to welcome back to the Lincoln Hall Steinway its friend Dennis Geib, who performed a concert for ARCA with young prodigies a few years ago.
Dennis returns with his Victorian Christmas Concert which he has produced annually in Franklin, PA for many years. Once again, he brings with him extraordinarily talented young musicians from the region.
The program with stirring and beloved Christmas songs surely will touch the heart – featuring contemporary solos by vocalist Kevin Downey and Jamie Bastello in Christmas classics, in O Holy Night and Gounod’s Ave Maria. They will join voices in the stirring duet, Time to Say Goodbye.
Contemporary vocalist Teal Weatherley will join Kevin Downey in popular and traditional duets as well as solos. Vocal repertoire will include Mary Did You Know, Breathe of Heaven, The Man with the Bag, and The First Noel – as well as Merry Christmas Darling by the Carpenters.
Fourteen-year-old, virtuoso pianist Oliver Wong who is a first-year boarding student at the Interlochen Arts Academy (the nation’s premier boarding school for high school artists) will dazzle the audience performing classical works by Bach and Mozart and Evan Wolfgong will play both classical and popular Christmas piano solos – an arrangement of Hark the Herald Angels Sing and a Rachmaninoff Prelude.
Nicholaus Nasibyan returns to Lincoln Hall a decade after he made his ARCA debut, playing and singing popular holiday jazz standards from the piano. Dennis Geib will perform with the artists and solo in his Christmas piano fantasy – sure to inspire and bring a tear to the eye.
As a devoted and inspired Christian, Dennis Geib has said that with his Victorian Christmas concerts he fulfills his commitment to nurture the talents of young musicians, to give back and “pay the blessing forward” in gratitude in the same way he was encouraged and given opportunities to develop his love for music and pianistic talent by “angels” in his native Franklin.
A favorite pianist of ARCA’s late founder and President, Dr. Arthur Steffee, Dennis recently performed an original piano composition, “For Him” in the Memorial concert in Dr. Steffee’s honor.
Dennis Geib said, “Art Steffee was the most unique man I’ve ever met. I will never forget seeing the sparkle in his eye when I brought the young prodigy pianists to perform for him and in Lincoln Hall. One of the fondest memories of my life – and perhaps the highlight of my musical career - was performing in his home for him alone after guests had left – playing the Movies of the Mind that I improvise. As the music engulfed his soul and spirit it brought tears to his eyes. Yes, real men cry. It will be my honor to return with more young talented musicians to the concert hall and organization he founded.”
