Annually, local WSMTA chapters state-wide hold a Music and Artistry Program, performance-based competitions with an adjudicator who provides feedback to the student and teacher. Selected participants then play at the State conference. All recitals are open to the public. This year’s featured artist, Ukrainianborn American pianist Inna Faliks, will present a program, “Reimagine Beethoven and Ravel,” on Friday, June 24. She is currently Professor of Piano and Head of Piano at UCLA. A Chamber Music program, “Small Flames,” will take place on Saturday, June 25. Faliks and the other pianists will play on the Bösendorfer Imperial Grand piano, a gift to LCC from the late Ken
and Pat Hanson. Bösendorfer pianos, handcrafted in Austria, are known for having 97 keys, a full eight octaves. Most traditional concert pianos have 88 keys.
