This is the first concert in the 2023 Erie Philharmonic outdoor summer series, featuring the Erie Philharmonic String Quartet. The program includes Dvorak’s beloved ‘American’ string quartet and Beethoven’s opus 18 no. 4 in c minor, among other works. Free and open to the public!

This series builds on Yoko Suzuki’s ongoing projects to showcase the music of influential female jazz composers and leaders. These women are rarely heard live in Pittsburgh because of the intricacy of their work or their unique approach to jazz music, but Yoko welcomes these intricacies as a challenge, and a way to expand her creative vehicle. Commemorating the tenth year since the passing of Marian McPartland, this concert will feature the arrangements of her original compositions and the songs she frequently played. This concert is funded by the Heinz Endowments Small Arts Initiative grant.

Christal Wagner and Gina Laurenzi explore the relationship between performers onstage and their collaborators’ medium. This nearly hour long performance will be woven together by a series of dance solos and duets that respond to the auditory experience, the visual experience, or simply one another’s movement invention. Through 7 kinetic works of movement, poetry, music, film, original composition and visual art, they explore the idea of the duet.

TWO 2 DUET includes performances by Wagner, Laurenzi, Emma Koi and Alicia Storin. Additional collaborating artists include Dani Kuepper (choreography), Dustin Laurenzi (music composition), Josh Halverson (film), Stephen Wolff (spoken word), 2rees (music composition), and Cadance Collective (music and dance).

Cadance Collective shares the stage with Danceworks Performance Company for the Friday night performance of "Women Who Dance".

"Danceworks Performance Company shares the stage with other inspiring, eclectic dancing women from the Milwaukee community. Sarah Wilbur, founding Artistic Director of Danceworks Performance Company, returns to the city to remount Disclosure Tactics, a dance for herself and 19 women, that asks the question – why do we dance? Another force to be reckoned with, the vibrant women of Panadanza will perform dances of Latin America and lead a Brazilian Samba lesson! Women and men alike – let’s celebrate the Women Who Dance!" 

Riso once again returns to Grace Lutheran for their popular First Fridays at Five series.  They will be performing two rarer gems of the piano quartet repertoire.  First on the program is Croatian composer Dora Pejacevic's Piano Quartet in D minor, followed by Russian-born Swiss composer Paul Juon's stunning Rhapsody for Piano Quartet.  This concert is free!

Our program opens with the first movement of Croatian composer Dora Pejčević's little known but stunning Piano Quartet in D Minor. Next is Paul Juon's sweeping Rhapsodie for Piano Quartet, a highly programmatic piece inspired by the novel Gösta Berlings Saga by Selma Lagerlöf. The program will close with Antonin Dvorak's Piano Quartet in E flat Major. 

A donation of $5 at the door is requested to help defray the costs of producing and presenting a program of live music.
