Thanks to Greg Hettmansberger for his entertaining recount of Greg Zelek’s opening performance of our 2018-2019 season! In his post, he talks about each piece played at the concert – and why he can’t wait to return to Overture Hall to hear the organ again.
“Appraised in purely musical terms, Zelek brings all the requisite qualities; after all, he was awarded the position at the ripe young age of 24, before finishing his Artist Diploma at the Juilliard School. And although we had met him briefly on a couple of occasions and found him eminently personable, we had no idea how he could charm an audience with his repartee as well as his repertoire.”
