Pianist Stephen Cook Performs at Katzin Concert Hall

04/06/2011 19:30, Katzin Concert Hall, ASU

Stephen Cook will perform an eclectic program of French, Russian and American music for his final Doctoral recital at ASU.

The program will include Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit and Stravinsky's Trois Mouvements de Petrouchka. These epic works are monuments of the piano literature and legendary among pianists for their extreme technical difficulty.  In addition, Stephen will perform a recent work by Emmy Award winning Los Angeles composer Stephen Cohn entitled Seven Dances. Mr. Cohn was recently praised in the Huffington Post for his new Quartet entitled Winter Soul. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rodney-punt/the-eclipse-quartet-and-i_b_815966.html  Cook has also worked closely with Stephen Cohn on two of his other visionary piano works: A Warrior's Paradox and Moods of A Goddess.
