Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents Between Salon and Swing: The World of Novelty Piano on Wednesday, March 23, 2016.

NOTE: The date was originally listed as Saturday, March 26, 2016 however the show date has been updated for March 23, 2016.

In this recital, pianist and historian Alex Hassan explores the syncopated stylings of 1920s/1930s Novelty Piano masters. An outgrowth of the late-Romantic classical salon style, Novelty Piano allowed fleet fingered, classically trained virtuosos of the early 20th century to dip a toe into the wild new currents of jazz, embracing the rhythmic verve of swingin' syncopation, while still maintaining the graceful arabesques of their more strait-laced classical forebears.

Admission is free on a first come, first served, but to guarantee your seat, register through the box office.
