Paul Caccamo's Faculty Recital

Visions of Sound: Dreamscapes from the Modern Imagination

FREE ADMISSION, Contributions go toward the SMC Choir Fund: stmarys-ca.edu/choirgives

No Bach, Beethoven, or Brahms: this program opens the door to other kinds of magic. Prokofiev’s Cinderella brings fairy-tale characters to life in music of elegance and theatrical flair. From there, the piano moves into the 21st century with Lowell Liebermann’s rhapsodic lyricism, Peteris Vasks’s meditative austerity, and Kian Ravaei’s bold, contemporary spark. Pianist Paul Caccamo invites you to hear the piano as storyteller, shape-shifter, and witness to the next chapter.
