Parrish’s Spring Salon Series Kicks Off With Pianist Alexandria Le

Salon Series, the Parrish Art Museum’s classical music program featuring world-class artists performing in an intimate setting, kicks off its spring season with concert pianist Alexandria Le on Friday, May 5, at 6 PM. Le’s program features complementary pairings of works by American and international composers, a gesture that aligns with the museum’s 125th Anniversary exhibition, “Artists Choose Parrish.” 

Among the many selections in her Salon Series program, Le’s dynamic pairings of American and non-American musical works will include two works that combine classical and pop music genres. French composer Francis Poulenc’s florid, lyrical “Improvisation no. 15: Hommage à Édith Piaf” — the quintessential French chanteuse — is coupled with a piano arrangement of George Gershwin’s distinctly “American Rhapsody in Blue” that combines elements of classical and jazz, established with the iconic opening siren-like clarinet riff and continuing with sections that evoke the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple in the 1920s.

Tickets are $25 for members, $35 for adult nonmembers, and $20 for students and children.
