Concert Pianist Sara Davis Buechner Makes Adelphi PAC Debut
Garden City, NY (03/30/2023) — Sara Davis Buechner, one of the most original concert pianists of our time, will perform at the Adelphi University Performing Arts Center (PAC) for the first time on Friday, April 14 at 7:30 p.m. The special concert on Adelphi's Westermann Stage will include Mozart, Brahms, Ravel and Chabrier.
Buechner is noted for her musical command, cosmopolitan artistry and visionary independence. Reviewers have lauded Buechner for her "intelligence, integrity and all-encompassing technical prowess" (The New York Times), and "thoughtful artistry in the full service of music" (The Washington Post).
During Buechner's one-day residency at Adelphi, she will run a piano masterclass for Department of Music pianists. As a proud transgender woman, Buechner will also offer a workshop for the university's LGBTQ+ community. Times and locations for these events will be announced at a later date.
Buechner has performed across every state and province of North America as a recitalist, chamber musician and soloist with top orchestras like the New York Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony and Philadelphia Orchestra. She has played such venues as Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and the Hollywood Bowl. Buechner has toured throughout Latin and South America and Europe. She enjoys a special following in Asia, where she has been a featured soloist with the Sydney Symphony, New Zealand Philharmonic, New Japan Philharmonic, and Shanghai Philharmonic, among many others.
Buechner is on the faculty of Temple University's Boyer College of Music and Dance and previously taught at the Manhattan School of Music, New York University and the University of British Columbia.
