Ithaca College

Charis Dimaras, with mezzo-soprano Leah Summers and baritone Marc Webster, will present a free recital on Thursday, March 4 at 7 pm in the Hockett Family Recital Hall.  A Mozart sonata for solo piano will be framed by five of Schubert's "Goethe Lieder" at the beginning and end of the recital. 

Greek concert pianist/conductor, Charis Dimaras is noted for his diverse activity as solo recitalist, vocal/instrumental chamber music collaborator, orchestra soloist and conductor of symphonic and operatic repertory.  He is equally at home performing the music of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven, as he is presenting brand new works in their world-premieres.  Dr. Dimaras remains strongly committed to the education of future generations of musicians: since 1999 he has been a member of the Music Faculty at Ithaca College, where he is currently associate professor of piano and collaborative studies.  Additionally, in recent years he has repeatedly served on the faculties of many coveted, international summer programs, such as the University of Miami’s Summer Vocal Program in Salzburg/Austria, the Holland Summer Music Sessions and the Opera Theater Institute of famed Metropolitan Opera soprano, Johanna Meier, in Spearfish/SD.
