Don Potter Concert to benefit Thompson Health’s Healthcare Education Fund

Singer and guitarist Don Potter first gained a large following in the greater Rochester area during the late 1960s as a member of the Show Stoppers. He later formed a duo with fellow ex-Show Stopper Bat McGrath. The two collaborated with Chuck Mangione on the Friends and Love concert, which also featured local legends Steve Gadd on drums, bassist Tony Levin, and Gap Mangione on keyboards.

He moved to Nashville after his powerful rendition of “Over The Rainbow,” which is where he played a significant role in launching one of the most successful acts in country music history, The Judds.

Throughout his career, he has collaborated with renowned artists such as Elton John, Kenny Chesney, Reba McIntyre, Lyle Lovett, Mark Knopfler, and many others.  In recognition of his accomplishments, Potter was inducted into the Rochester Music Hall of Fame in 2013.

ChamberFest Canandaigua: Poets at the Piano

Tonight’s program is filled with mystery, longing, and virtuosity. Bach’s Prelude and Fugue in B-flat minor opens with a tense and melancholic prelude that gives way to a masterful fugue in five voices (one of only two fugues of this character in the entire Well-Tempered Klavier). Mozart’s Fantasie, left unfinished at the time of the composer’s death, is a temperamental and moody work in seven distinct sections. From the opening notes of the immediately recognizable Ballade No. 1, one understands why Chopin called it his “dearest work.” This daring work takes the Sturm und Drang movement to epic, dreamlike heights. Gershwin’s delightful “It Ain’t Necessarily So” gives way to Schumann’s rich and colorful Piano Quartet.

J.S. BACH: Prelude and Fugue in B-flat minor, from the Well-Tempered Klavier, Book 1, BWV 867

W.A. MOZART: Fantasie No. 3 in D minor, K397

ChamberFest Canandaigua: Expanding the Score

Celebrating the finale of ChamberFest Canandaigua’s 20th Anniversary Season, we’re joined by conductor Evan Maccarello, a full orchestra, and a slate of incredible soloists for an exuberant evening of music. A young Mozart, eager to break the norms of Salzburg, blends the styles he had recently encountered on a Parisian tour in this completely innovative concerto for a modest orchestra and two soloists: violin and viola. Decades later, Beethoven similarly sought to elevate the piano trio as a soloist; a daring endeavor in balancing three extremely unique voices in an altogether virtuosic and vibrant work.

W.A. MOZART: Symphonia Concertante in E-flat Major, K. 364 (1779)

 I. Allegro maestoso

 II. Andante

 III. Presto

Artists: Evan Maccarello (conductor), Min-Young Kim (violin soloist), Jessica Thompson (viola soloist)
