Pianist Christopher Johnson has described the program for his September 1 recital at The Sembrich, “My favorite all-Chopin program---EVER!” Evidently local music lovers feel the same way, as all but five tickets for his performance were snapped up almost two weeks prior to the event. To meet the high demand, organizers have scheduled a second performance at the Marcella Sembrich studio, on Sunday, September 2, at 7:30 p.m.
Johnson will perform Chopin’s Barcarolle in F-sharp Major, and what he terms the “mysteriously austere” Polonaise in E-flat Minor. He also will play "Revolutionary" Etude, two mazurkas and the “Heroic” Polonaise. Chopin’s compositions, he explains, demands a “Mozartian perfection and yet, the figurations are far more extended, the harmonic vocabulary far richer, and the melodies far more adorned. In short, the technical demands can be brutal.” According to critics, Johnson is equal to the job. Says Robert H. Newall of The ...

Following Their Footsteps: The Knox Trail Honor Walk
During the winter of 1775–1776, Colonel Henry Knox left Boston, marched to New York’s Fort Ticonderoga, and—with a team of men and oxen—hauled more than 50 tons of cannons and other arms back to Boston’s Dorchester Heights. The threat of these cannons firing on British ships in Boston Harbor led to the British evacuation of Boston, a major victory for the fledging Continental Army.
In 1926, New York and Massachusetts began installing commemorative markers that traced the so-called “Knox Trail” at locations in the two states.
In April of 2012, staff members of Patriots of the American Revolution Magazine will walk the Knox Trail.
The mission: to honor Henry Knox and his “noble train of artillery,” to raise awareness of and promote the Knox Trail as a unique American historical route, and to help the American Revolution Association ...
