ACMF Concert 4: The Art of the Keyboard

Friday, August 21, 2026, 7:30 PM

Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts

When you think "keyboard", what comes to mind? If it's a piano, you're not alone, yet the world of the keyboard encompasses far more. In this concert, you'll be treated to virtuosic displays on the marimba, harpsichord, and modern grand piano. From the startling, rebellious virtuosity of Bach's Fifth Brandenburg Concerto to the relaxed back-porch chatter of Robert Honstein's Patter, you'll be amazed at the variety of music these instruments have inspired. Of course the piano shows off its range as well, spanning the virtuosic sweep of Fanny Mendelssohn's Piano Trio with the atmospheric, wind-blended colors of Kanji Bunch's Summer Hours. You'll leave with a fresh perspective on the possibilities of the keyboard.
