Dr. Arthur Steffee, founder of Allegheny RiverStone Center for the Arts.
To honor its founder and president Dr. Arthur D. Steffee, Allegheny RiverStone Center for the Arts is presenting a Memorial Concert in his honor on Sunday, October 27 at 2 PM in Lincoln Hall in Foxburg. The concert will be free to the public, with donations accepted.
Immediately following the concert, there will be a reception on both floors of the Red Brick Gallery (17 Main Street, Foxburg) catered by Don Ras and Crows Cupboard – in the Upstairs Gallery with the Weavers Exhibit from the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts and Media, and also on the first floor in the Gift Shop to accommodate those not able to take the stairs.
The concert program will be half classical and popular, featuring performers who were favorites of Arthur’s: Pianists David Allen Wehr and Cynthia Raim in Rachmaninoff piano duets, Opus 11; violinist Monique Mead in Massenet’s “Meditation” from Thaïs; pianist Gayle Martin in a Liszt work and popular arrangements of Gershwin’s “The Man I Love” and hymns; and Katherine Soroka in The Lord’s Prayer
The second half features pianists Dennis Geib in an original composition and Tom Roberts in selections by funky virtuosi from New Orleans, including Amazing Grace, and CATRO in easy jazz standards with Mark DeWalt and Tammi Dahl, concluding the program with “What a Wonderful World”.
Because Lincoln Hall seating is limited, reservations for tickets to be held at the door may be made on a first come, first served basis by phone: 724-659-3153.
The online tribute to Arthur Steffee previously published in the Progress News may be viewed on the Allegheny RiverStone Center for the Arts homepage www.alleghenyriverstone.org.
