Pianist Ann DuHamel will play selections from her "Prayers for a Feverish Planet" for the final concert of the 2022-23 Donald P. Pipino Performing Arts Series.
DuHamel has performed in 18 countries and 37 states, playing such venues as Carnegie Weill Recital Hall. She has been hailed as a "forward-thinking classical pianist" (Midwest Record) and applauded for the "depth of programming and playing" (Piano Magazine). She actively champions contemporary composers.
With "Prayers for a Feverish Planet," DuHamel responds to the climate crisis with more than 60 new works from composers around the world. In the spirit of eco-artivism, the program asks urgent questions of the listener -- how can we live more mindfully as global citizens and how can we use our artistic talents to make a difference?
DuHamel currently serves as associate professor of music at the University of Minnesota-Morris, where she devotes herself to the mission of sharing high quality traditional and contemporary classical music with students and the greater community. She earned her doctorate of musical arts degree at the University of Iowa under the tutelage of Ksenia Nosikova.
The concert is scheduled at 7:30 p.m. April 20 at the McDonough Museum of Art, 525 Wick Ave., Youngstown. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for senior citizens and Youngstown State University faculty and staff, $5 for teens and free for children 12 and younger and are available online at www.tix.com/ticket-sales/ysu/4712 .
