Pianist Gregory Thompson will perform a recital featuring the works of African American composers Irene Britton Smith, George Walker, and Joel Thompson, as well as a Haydn sonata and works by Chopin.
"Gregory Thompson is a noted pianist and music educator, and we are honored to have him join us and share his musical gifts and those of these remarkable African-American composers" says Rev. John Kirkley, Rector at St. James. Throughout 2022, St. James Episcopal Church will be offering San Franciscans an opportunity to enjoy traditional music in an intimate and uniquely beautiful setting.
The recital will be held on Friday, February 4, 2020, at 7:00 pm.
Gregory Thompson is known for his work as a solo and collaborative artist in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Of his Carnegie Hall debut, the NY Times praised his "intuitive playing", and his ability to "make a melodic line sing and inflect it with delicate rubato effects." (NY Times)
His international performance credits include concerts at Marmolle Hall, Salzburg; The Atelier Concert Series, Paris; and at the Teatro Signorelli. In the U.S., he has played at Weill and Zankel Halls, NYC as well as Steinway Galleries in NC and GA. His varied repertoire ranges from Beethoven and Schubert to Prokofiev, George Walker, and Adolphus Hailstork. Artists with whom he has collaborated include singers Grace Bumbry, Allan Glassman, Russell Thomas, as well as woodwind faculty members of Austria's Mozarteum. His concerto performances have included Baltimore Symphony, South Carolina Philharmonic, and Charlotte Philharmonic Orchestras.
Tickets are available on Eventbrite or at the door. Attendees will be required to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination and wear a mask indoors. There also will be an option to attend virtually via live stream.
