Concert Pianist Jodie Wise to Perform Sept. 10
 
9/1/00
 
   

Concert pianist Jodie Wise will perform in Berea College’s Gray Auditorium at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 10.

Sponsored by the Berea College music department, Wise’s appearance is part of a three-month tour by the artist throughout the U.S. during which she is performing “Millennium Mosaic: A Celebration of American Piano Music” as part of millennial celebrations throughout the country.

“Millennium Mosaic” introduces and celebrates the spirit, diversity, and craft of a century of American piano music. Showcasing the broad range of American compositional styles of the last century, spanning Victorian parlor songs, ragtime, jazz, folk dance and song, classical and cutting-edge contemporary music, the program includes works by Samuel Barber and Scott Joplin as well as pieces by lesser-known composers.

A native of Huntington, W.Va., Wise is a frequent guest artist on concert series and festivals worldwide. She also has performed with orchestras and ensembles throughout the U.S., including the National Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the orchestras of Atlanta, Boston, Pittsburgh and other major cities. Her performances abroad include appearances with the BBC Symphony, London Philharmonic, Montreal Symphony and other orchestras world-wide.

After making her musical debut at Carnegie Hall at the age of 12, Wise won first prize in the National Young Performing Artists Competition in Miami when she was 16. She holds a bachelor of music degree from Oberlin College and a master of music degree from the University of Southern California and has pursued additional studies at the Juilliard School in New York.

Admission to the concert is free and open to the public.
