Piano recital at LHU April 5

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. - Pianist David T. Curtin will perform works by Haydn and Brahms in a concert at Lock Haven University. The concert will be Thursday, April 5 at 5:00p.m. in Price Performance Center. This concert is free and the public is invited to attend.

To mark the 200th anniversary of the death of Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, Curtin will perform two Haydn sonatas. Then Curtin and his wife, Hyun Ju, will play eleven of the Brahms Hungarian Dances for piano four-hands, meaning that the two pianists will perform together on the same piano.

Curtin is associate professor of music at Lock Haven University. A native of Rochester, N.Y., he earned his Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. He has performed nationally and internationally. His recital was postponed until April 5 following a serious cut on a finger which interrupted his practice schedule.

Korean-born pianist Hyun Ju is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, and has performed concerti, chamber music, and solo recitals throughout the United States and Korea.
