He is the recipient of numerous awards and honors including awards from the Julliard School and the Presser Foundation. He has written music for orchestra, band, choirs, chamber ensembles, and a variety of solo instruments. Amaryllis Iglesias Glass Amaryllis Glass began her piano study at the age of 3. At age 9 she made her orchestral debut performing Haydn’s piano concerto in D Major with the Carmen Nappo Youth Symphony. During the years that followed she studied at the Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan. In 1982 Amaryllis won the Schumann Competition in the Johanna Hodges International Piano Competition in Palm Desert California. She earned her Bachelor of Music degree at the University of Maryland, her Master of Music Degree at the Julliard School, and acquired her Doctorate of Musical Arts degree in 1992. Amaryllis is married to 4 time Emmy Award winning composer/music director, Paul S. Glass. Amaryllis maintains an expansive piano studio in Fairfield Connecticut where she lives.  "Our visitors to Community Sings and Sunday Services hear Stafan and Amaryllis play regularly, but we have never featured them in a Recital before," said Bob Cleasby, Director of Programs at the Tabernacle. "They are so very talented and great fun to work with that we wanted to feature them in a stand-alone event." They will be playing together, as soloists, and Stafan will present one of his famous improvisations as part of the program. Music for the program includes pieces by Mozart, Chopin, Ravel, Bach, and Stravinsky. There is no fixed admission charge for this concert, rather a free-will offering will be taken and shared with the performers. |
