All Chopin recital by Dr. Dylan Savage

Dr. Dylan Savage practicing before his concert

Dr. Dylan Savage, a Bloomsburg native with degrees in piano performance from Oberlin and Indiana State University, recently played a concert of the music of Chopin, in celebration of the 200th year since his birth, on our beautiful Blüthner concert grand piano at the First Presbyterian Church of Bloomsburg, PA.

Dr. Savage played several Valses, Preludes, Nocturnes, Mazurkas, Tarentelles, as well as Chopin's famous Berceuse Op. 57, Ballade no. 2 in F major Op. 38, and his beloved Polonaise 'Heroic' in A flat major Op. 53.

The concert was enjoyed by all. Gorgeous music played by a pianist of the very highest caliber. I was especially moved at the sensitivity in his performance of the Berceuse... otherworldly.

What a great way to kick off a new year of great music in Bloomsburg!
