I like to work in the crack between 2-D and 3-D\, using paint or encaustic and disparate materials on various substrates. Mixed media gives me the opportunity to bring a sense of history and of unearthing a mystery into the current works. My visual vocabulary is rich in pattern and texture and a sense of something beneath the surface\, and I am interested in topography–interior and exterior. \nArtist Bio \nPat Gerkin’s abstract paintings and encaustics have been exhibited in numerous solo and group shows throughout the Washington\, DC area and the Greater Boston and New England area. Her work is in public and private and museum collections in the U.S.\, South America\, and Europe. Memberships include New Hampshire Artists’ Association\, Robert Levy Gallery\, Portsmouth\, NH; Associate Artist\, Torpedo Factory Art Center\, Alexandria\, VA; New England Wax (former); Ogunquit Artists’ Association\, Barn Gallery\, Ogunquit\, ME. Galleries include Art3Gallery\, Manchester\, NH; L’Attitude Art\, Allston\, MA. \nLEARN MORE: gerkinstudios.com \nAbout Merrill Black Aharonian – Painter\nMerrill Black’s essays have appeared in the New York Times\, New York Press\, UnderWired Magazine and in the anthologies Autobiographical Writing Across the Disciplines\, published by Duke University Press and Becoming Portsmouth: Voices from a Half Century of Change\, The History Press.

Her program includes works by Grieg and Liszt – a composer with whom she is particularly identified. \n“Ms. Weber is … a concert pianist of cliffhanging panache and daredevil brilliance.” Ellen Pfeifer\, The Wall Street Journal \nHer world premiere recording of Liszt’s 1838 Transcendental Etudes elicited acclaim from Time Magazine: “Liszt later simplified these pieces into the still ferociously difficult Transcendental Etudes (1852 version) for fear that no one else could play them. There may now be several fire-eating piano virtuosos who can execute the original notes\, but few can liberate the prophetic music they contain as masterfully as Janice Weber does here.” \nMs. Weber recorded Liszt’s last Hungarian Rhapsody\, one of only two living pianists to be included in a compendium of historic performances by nineteen legendary artists. This disc subsequently won the International Liszt Prize. Her recordings also include Rachmaninoff’s complete transcriptions; with the Lydian Quartet\, Leo Ornstein’s vast Piano Quintet; flute and piano works of Sigfrid Karg-Elert; and waltz transcriptions of Godowsky\, Rosenthal\, and Friedman. \nHer Naxos recording of Leo Ornstein’s radical works introduced the charismatic composer to a worldwide audience. She is heard in Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time on Ongaku Records and her newest disc\, Cascade of Roses (Dorian Sono Luminus)\,features works of twenty-one composers from Adolf Jensen to Billy Mayerl. \nA summa cum laude graduate of the Eastman School of Music\, Janice Weber has performed at the White House\, Carnegie Hall\, Wigmore Hall\, National Gallery of Art\, and Boston’s Symphony Hall. She has appeared with the Boston Pops\, Chautauqua Symphony\, New Jersey Symphony\, Hilton Head Orchestra\, Sarajevo Philharmonic\, and Syracuse Symphony. She has performed at the Bard\, Newport\, La Gesse\, Husum\, and Monadnock summer festivals and has twice toured China under the auspices of the American Liszt Society. \nShe was a member of the piano faculty at Boston Conservatory for twenty-seven years and has taught at MIT and New England Conservatory. \nMs. Weber is also a published author. Her novels\, most of which have something to do with music\, have a worldwide following. She also produced the tones for Ivory\, the worldwide bestselling virtual piano software. \nShe is a Steinway artist. \n————————- \nMs. Weber’s Program: \nPrelude and Fugue in E minor\, Op. 35 No. 1\nFelix Mendelssohn (1809 – 1847) \nLyric Pieces\nEdvard Grieg (1843 – 1907) \nTo Spring\, Op. 43 No. 6\nMarch of the Trolls\, Op. 54 No. 3\nButterfly\, Op. 43 No. 1\nPeace of the Woods\, Op. 71 No. 4\nWedding Day at Troldhaugen\, Op. 65 No. 6 \nVariations on a Theme of Corelli\, Op. 42\nSergei Rachmaninoff (1873 – 1943) \nINTERMISSION \nSt. Francis of Assisi Preaching to the Birds\nSt. Francis of Assisi Walking on the Waters\nFranz Liszt (1811 – 1886) \nHarmonies du Soir \nHungarian Rhapsody No. 12 \nLEARN MORE + PURCHASE TICKETSAdditional Events: 17th Annual Elizabeth Dunaway Burnham Piano Festival at Barn Gallery in Ogunquit\, Maine\n Student Piano Recital: Sunday\, October 6th\, at 3:00 pm (Free Admission)Location: Barn Gallery\, 3 Hartwig Lane (off Bournes Lane or Shore Rd)\, Ogunquit\nPrice: Free Admission \nThe Festival’s Student Piano Recital\, showcases up to 15 of the area’s best young pianists\, performing on Ogunquit Performing Art Committee’s famed Steinway piano. The recital provides these talented local students the opportunity to perform on a world class piano before a live audience in a beautiful setting. \nThe Piano Festival honors the memory of Elizabeth Dunaway Burnham\, founder and first chairperson of Ogunquit Performing Arts. A pianist herself\, Betty studied\, performed and taught piano for most of her life. She also saw to it that OPA acquired its spectacular Steinway Concert Model C Grand Piano\, which still remains OPA’s greatest treasure. \nThe Ogunquit Performing Arts Committee was Betty’s brain-child. Her love of Ogunquit was matched by her love of the piano\, which she studied and taught for most of her life. She long dreamed of the possibility that Ogunquit could support a program of musical performances to add to its attractiveness as a welcoming place for painters\, sculptors and summer theatre. \nWhen her father\, S. Judson Dunaway\, died in 1976\, his will directed that a portion of his estate be donated to charitable causes. Betty requested that the executors include a contribution to Ogunquit to endow a fund to help support musical performances\, some to be held at the Dunaway Center\, which he earlier had donated to the town. When this endowment was in place\, the Committee for the Performing Arts was formed and began its work\, with Betty elected as chairperson. \nLEARN MORERandall Hodgkinson: Saturday\, October 12th at 7:30 p.m.Location: Barn Gallery\, 3 Hartwig Lane\, (off Bournes Lane or Shore Rd)\, Ogunquit\nPrice: $20 in advance; $25 at the door \nOgunquit’s favorite Randall Hodgkinson\, leader of Boston Chamber Music\, turns his attention to solo repertoire in a beautiful program of Bach\, Berg and Chopin. \nRenowned classical pianist\, Randall Hodgkinson\, returns to Ogunquit as a piano soloist\, having performed in Ogunquit multiple times with the late Bruce Coppock and the Boston Chamber Music Society’s Piano Quartet. \n“The finest performance I have ever heard of this very difficult piece.
