Friday, Jan. 17 at 7:30 p.m.—RANDOLPH— As both a pianist and composer, Michael Arnowitt’s imaginative musical landscapes, extraordinary sense of touch, and unique musical expressions have delighted audiences in concert halls around the world, from his home base in Vermont and Toronto to Korea, Russia, France, Belgium, Germany, Holland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary. His life and music are the subject of the documentary film, “Beyond 88 Keys” (2004), filmed in both the United States and Europe. In October of 2020 he will be performing a 10-day concert tour of China with the guitarist Steve Blair.
Arnowitt has also been the principal organizer of a number of large-scale fundraisers for humanitarian aid, among them an April 1999 benefit concert for Balkan war refugees that raised over $10,000 and collected clothing and 300 emergency first aid kits for the refugee camps. In 2016 he organized a benefit concert for Syrian refugees, creating a special program surveying Syria’s diverse cultures, with thirty performers including an orchestra and chorus presenting Syrian secular and sacred music, poetry, short stories, and drama.
This is your chance to see him live in concert. Tickets are $35/$25/$10 and are available through etix.com/ticket/p/8480400. The Chandler Center for the Arts is located at 71 N Main St. in Randolph.
