Yesterday was Johann Sebastian Bach's birthday and Starmount Presbyterian Church is hosting Bach's Lunch every day this week. The free, open-to-the-public concerts start at 12:15 p.m. and last for about 30 minutes. Today's concert is Debra Reuter-Pivetta on flute and Federico Pivetta on piano. Reuter-Pivetta is the principal flutist with the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra and a flute instructor at Salem College. Federico Pivetta is a chamber musician and teacher who often plays duets with his wife. Their performance today will be well worth attending. The rest of the schedule for the series can be seen here. They will continue through Friday. These concerts have been held every March since 1985 and except for the two years of the pandemic. We encourage you to call a few friends and head out to this event. It was easy to forget about these great community events during the pandemic, after two years of of blank calendars.
Starmount Presbyterian is a beautiful church located at 3501 West Market Street. The church was established in 1952, an outgrowth of Orange Presbytery, Church of the Covenant, and the First Presbyterian Church. This is when Greensboro was really expanding westward. Starmount Presbyterian does so much for the community. It is part of the Greensboro Interfaith Hospitality Network, a group that houses homeless families. They have missions abroad. For one week, each March, their mission is to bring high quality music to the public. Head on over this week and show them some support! You won't regret it.
Happy Tuesday!
A great performance yesterday by Dr. Weng, professor of piano at Wake Forest.
