LEARN MORE + PURCHASE TICKETSAdditional information about the 16th Annual Elizabeth Dunaway Burnham Piano Festival at Barn Gallery in Ogunquit presented by Ogunquit Performing ArtsFrederick Moyer: Saturday, October 7th at 7:30 p.m.Performing the opening concert at the Barn Gallery in Ogunquit, at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 7th, internationally acclaimed pianist, Frederick Moyer performs a show-stopping program of a variety of well-known classical composers, and featuring a group of jazz favorites.
His program will include works by Mozart, Schumann, Chopin and Rachmaninoff, followed by a wide-ranging selection of his (and our) jazz standards.
Moyer has redefined traditional piano recitals through his use of technology, often with his own original software. His MoyerCam provides the audience a view from almost every seat in the house of his hands and keyboard.
His performances exhibit an affinity for a wide variety of styles in both classical music and jazz, and his relaxed and witty commentary from the stage engages audiences in the heart of the musical experience. He returns to OPA audiences as a favorite performer, always inspiring standing ovations and encores.
Moyer has entertained audiences in more than 44 countries- and in such international venues as the Sydney Opera House, Suntory Hall in Tokyo, Windsor Castle, with orchestras in London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Brazil, and Iceland- and across every region in the U.S. ranging from Boston, NYC, Baltimore and Washington D.C. to St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Milwaukee to Dallas, Houston and Los Angeles.
Critical praise from the New York Times refers to his work as “First class… His playing is clean, unmannered, and full of ideas and intelligence.”
LEARN MORE + PURCHASE TICKETSLiana Paniyeva: Friday, October 13, at 7:30 pmOn Friday, October 13, at 7:30 pm, Ukranian and international classical pianist Liana Paniyeva makes her Ogunquit debut performing a program which illustrates what her concert reviewers describe as a “sensitive player… holding your attention with tender regard for the music, a captivating inwardness and sense of free spontaneity.”
Her program will include works by Brahms, Chopin, Schumann, Weinberg and Lysenko.
Ms. Paniyeva began winning prizes as a young prodigy in Ukraine in 2002, and continued to win international performance prizes in prestigious competitions from the American Fine Arts Festival and the Metropolitan International Competition in NYC, to the George Gershwin International Competition, and among others, prestigious competitions in Scotland and Spain.
In 2022 she was granted the Extraordinary Abilities in the Arts US residence, awarded only to artists who have attained the highest level in their field.
Her international venues include but are not limited to piano festivals in Norway, Hungary, Austria, Canada, England, Syria, Italy, South Africa, Spain and Israel. Her domestic performances include multiple performances at Carnegie Hall and concert
series in Chicago.
Her commitment to teaching and mentoring promising young piano students is exemplified by her founding of the first online Young Stars International Piano Competition for young pianists ages 6-14 yo. During the pandemic, children from all over the world submitted their recordings: Germany, Malaysia, Australia, Poland, Canada, Macedonia, Thailand, US, UK, Taiwan, Italy, India, Lithuania, and Azebiajan.

The festival, and especially this recital, honors the memory of Elizabeth Dunaway Burnham (“Betty”), fittingly concluding the festival with this event inspired by most of her own life as a piano student and teacher. As a student, she first received a music degree from Smith College and continued her studies with renowned concert pianists and faculty members from Dunbarton College in Washington, D.C. and Julliard School of Music, in New York City.

About Shaune McCarthy – Painter

My paintings and sculptures are a consequence of experimentation, spontaneity, imagination, play, and of course hard work.
I think being an artist means trusting your instincts and allowing your imagination to show you the path into the unknown. That’s where I want to be with my art. I want to make something no one, not even me, has seen before.
When I begin a painting I usually have very little idea where I’ll be going with it. I find that if I attempt to plan a painting or even sketch an idea beforehand I get bored and it never appears like the plan anyway. I endeavor to stay alert to any story which unfolds before my eyes and especially open to those happy accidents which happen if you’re experimenting and staying free.

About Shaune McCarthy – Painter
My paintings and sculptures are a consequence of experimentation, spontaneity, imagination, play, and of course hard work.
I think being an artist means trusting your instincts and allowing your imagination to show you the path into the unknown. That’s where I want to be with my art. I want to make something no one, not even me, has seen before.
When I begin a painting I usually have very little idea where I’ll be going with it. I find that if I attempt to plan a painting or even sketch an idea beforehand I get bored and it never appears like the plan anyway. I endeavor to stay alert to any story which unfolds before my eyes and especially open to those happy accidents which happen if you’re experimenting and staying free.

Pat Gerkin – Painter
About Pat Gerkin – PainterArtist Statement
Although my work is deeply rooted in places and nature, I have chosen to commit to abstraction as my personal expression. 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.
Artist Bio
Pat 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.

Price: $20 in advance; $25 at the door
World-class pianist, Janice Weber, returns for her fifth appearance in Ogunquit, this time bringing with her a dazzling program of works by Grieg and Liszt.
Janice Weber is a vivacious performer with a reputation for programing the most exciting and technically challenging selections – which certainly applies to her upcoming performance for OPA! Her program includes works by Grieg and Liszt – a composer with whom she is particularly identified.
“Ms. Weber is … a concert pianist of cliffhanging panache and daredevil brilliance.” Ellen Pfeifer, The Wall Street Journal
Her 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.”
Ms. 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.
Her 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.
A 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.
She was a member of the piano faculty at Boston Conservatory for twenty-seven years and has taught at MIT and New England Conservatory.
Ms. 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.
She is a Steinway artist.

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
Price: Free Admission
The 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.
The 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.
The 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.
When 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.

Price: $20 in advance; $25 at the door
Ogunquit’s favorite Randall Hodgkinson, leader of Boston Chamber Music, turns his attention to solo repertoire in a beautiful program of Bach, Berg and Chopin.
Renowned 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.
“The finest performance I have ever heard of this very difficult piece. It was as if he was reading my mind…” Aaron Copland on hearing pianist Randall Hodgkinson performing his Piano Fantasy in Jordan Hall, Boston.
Randy achieved recognition as the Grand Prize winner of the International American Music competition, sponsored by Carnegie Hall and the Rockefeller Foundation, winner in the JS Bach International Competition, and as the recipient of the Tanglewood Music Center’s prestigious Cabot Award. His solo orchestral performances include appearances with the Atlanta Symphony, the Philadelphia, the Boston Symphony, and Cleveland Orchestras, the Buffalo Philharmonic, and the New York Symphony. He has also performed at numerous well regarded chamber music festivals, including but not limited to: Blue Hill (Maine), Chestnut Hill (Connecticut), Seattle (Washington) and Santa Fe (New Mexico).
As both of Randy’s parents were musicians, Randy began his musical career at a very young age, with his mother as his first teacher. “Discovered” at a music festival at age 15 he was encouraged to apply for admission to the New England Conservatory of music, where he earned a BA, MM and AD. His musical repertoire spans from JS Bach to Donald Marino, and he recently performed the world premier of the piano concerto of composer Gardener Read at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y. He regularly performs the four hand and two piano repertoire with his talented spouse, Leslie Amper.
He currently serves on the faculties of the New England Conservatory, the Longy School of Music at Bard College in Cambridge, MA, and Wellesley College.

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.

Janice Weber: Friday, October 4, 2024, 7:30 p.m.Location: Barn Gallery, 3 Hartwig Lane (off Bournes Lane at Shore Rd), Ogunquit
Price: $20 in advance; $25 at the door
World-class pianist, Janice Weber, returns for her fifth appearance in Ogunquit, this time bringing with her a dazzling program of works by Grieg and Liszt.
Janice Weber is a vivacious performer with a reputation for programing the most exciting and technically challenging selections – which certainly applies to her upcoming performance for OPA! Her program includes works by Grieg and Liszt – a composer with whom she is particularly identified.
“Ms. Weber is … a concert pianist of cliffhanging panache and daredevil brilliance.” Ellen Pfeifer, The Wall Street Journal
Her 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.”
Ms. 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.
Her 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.
A 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.
She was a member of the piano faculty at Boston Conservatory for twenty-seven years and has taught at MIT and New England Conservatory.
Ms. 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.
She is a Steinway artist.

The 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.
The 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.
The 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.
When her father, S. Judson Dunaway, died in 1976, his will directed that a portion of his estate be donated to charitable causes.

About Karen Bushold – PhotographerARTIST STATEMENT: Karen Bushold
“My photographs combine bright colors and patterns of painted surfaces with elements fromnature and human intervention. My prints focus on subjects and details that are often overlooked but can reveal fresh juxtapositions that challenge our first look and make us take a second.”

About Carol, Travers Lummus – PrintmakerARTIST STATEMENT: Carol Travers Lummus
“One of the most difficult assignments for me to do is to explain what I do. I can readily explain the technique (the process of etching which can be found at my website), alas, for me to explain the meaning of my work is like asking an author to draw a picture describing his novel … like asking a daisy to explain horticulture. With my line work, I take spaghetti for a walk. That is when I am in my zone. Hal La Croix, of Peterborough, described my work as having a “warmth and spirit that forms coy statements on social conventions” and “refreshingly devoid of self-conscious artistic pretense.””

Ogunquit Performing Arts presents Zahili Zamora Afro Cuban Trio
2025-06-06
Performing in Ogunquit for the first time ever, Zahili Zamora and her Afro Cuban Jazz Trio promise a unique and unparalleled jazz experience.
Ms Zamora and her Trio have headlined such venues as the landmark Scullers Jazz Club in Boston, the Monterey Jazz Festival, the Celebrity Series of Boston, the Montreal International Jazz Festival, and many more.
Barn Gallery is located at 3 Hartwig Lane in Ogunquit, Maine — at the corner of Shore Road & Bourne Lane.
Additional Information About: Ogunquit Performing Arts presents Zahili Zamora Afro Cuban TrioMs Zamora’s awards include: the Duke Ellington Award, the Wayne Shorter Award, the 40th Annual DownBeat music Award in the Outstanding Performance Category, Finalist at the DC Jazz Prix Competition, and with her Trio MIXCLA, a two time nominee for the Boston Music Awards in the Jazz Group category.
A pianist, composer, bandleader, arranger and educator, Ms Zamora started playing piano at the age of six, in her birthplace of Manzanillo, Cuba, where she graduated from the National School of Music, as a classical pianist, with a performance diploma. Emigrating to Canada, she explored a wide range of musical genres such as traditional Ecuadorian, French, and South African, and then to Asia for 6 years, where she even performed with a pop band.
Discovering Jazz, she returned to school in the U.S. to study at the Berklee College of Music, immersing herself in the study and analysis of jazz performance and composition, and falling in love with the process of creating. She graduated summa cum laude with a dual MM degree in Jazz Composition and Jazz Piano Performance. She currently serves as an Assistant Professor in the Piano Department.
This rich musical background, career experience and extraordinary improvisation skills, render her a leader in the modern jazz idiom and an influential and emulated musician.
She describes the evolution of her artistic identity as a Latin Jazz pianist, singer, bandleader and composer, through reconnecting with her Cuban roots, and using elements of her rhythmic idiosyncrasy with American jazz, while adding and developing skills to encompass her artistry. She describes her music as representing multiculturalism and global unity in these times when there is so much division and oppression.
Please join us to experience this enormous talent, in an Ogunquit premiere performance. It will blow your musical mind!
We are pleased to welcome our local friends and visitors back to the beautiful Barn Gallery, which has stepped up once again to offer an alternative venue during the repair, planned renovation and construction of our new municipal building and S. Judson Dunaway community center. Join us in this wonderful venue for a festive evening with Zahili and her Trio!

Ogunquit Performing Arts. Boston Chamber Music String Quartet
2025-06-13
Celebrating the Marginal Way Centennial with the music of Haydn, Mozart, Puccini and Mendelssohn!
In recent years, OPA’s Chamber Music Festival has featured an on-going partnership with Boston Chamber Music, which every year puts together a special ensemble for the Ogunquit concerts, unique to OPA.
The players this year include Omar Chen Guey, violin, Peter Sulski, violin, Noriko Futagami, viola, and David Russell, cello – three of whom have played for OPA before, with Ms. Futagami making her Ogunquit debut.
Barn Gallery is located at 3 Hartwig Lane in Ogunquit, Maine — at the corner of Shore Road & Bourne Lane.
Additional Information About: Ogunquit Performing Arts. Boston Chamber Music String QuartetBoston Chamber Music’s program this year will feature Haydn’s String Quartet No. 63 in B♭major, Op. 76, No. 4, (the Sunrise Quartet), a piece which evokes the rising of the sun and the stirring awakening of nature. It was selected by Boston Chamber Music as a fitting tribute to the Marginal Way Centennial, which this year marks 100 years since the deed of gift of the scenic cliff walk to the town of Ogunquit by Josiah Chase.
The Haydn quartet is nicknamed “Sunrise” due to the rising theme over sustained chords that begins the quartet, and is perhaps the most magical in all Haydn. Featuring rising themes throughout, it combines earthiness with sophisticated development, blending Hungarian or Balkan folk music with the composer’s natural elegance.
BCM’s program will also include Mozart’s Quartet in Eb Major, K. 171 (the Viennese). Written in 1773, the quartet represents a considerable advance from Mozart’s previous works and reflects the influence of Haydn.
Crisantemi (Chrysanthemums), a haunting lovely elegy written by Giacomo Puccini in 1890 in tribute to the late Amadeo I of Spain. Puccini later incorporated the beautiful, tragic melodies of this short piece into his first successful opera, Manon Lescaut.
Mendelssohn’s Quartet in Eb Major, Op. 12 concludes the program. This masterfully composed quartet of 1829, while still echoing the influence of Beethoven, features stylistic and lyrical departures from that influence as Mendelssohn continued to develop as a composer.
Join us for this final chamber music concert of the season, as these wonderful artists bring this superlative program to Ogunquit audiences!
PRICE: $20 in advance, $25 at the door (cash or checks only). Wine Reception to meet the artists follows the concert. Free parking at the Barn Gallery.

Marginal Way Committee Centennial Talk: “A World on the Wing,” Scott Weidensaul
2025-06-26
On Thursday, June 26, the Marginal Way’s Centennial Talk series concludes with “A World on the Wing,” a talk by acclaimed ornithologist and Pulitzer Prize finalist Scott Weidensaul at Barn Gallery in Ogunquit, Maine. His 7 p.m. presentation will describe the science and wonder of global bird migration – “the navigational and physiological feats that enable birds to cross immense oceans, fly above the highest mountains, or remain in unbroken flight for months at a stretch.”
Barn Gallery is located at 3 Hartwig Lane in Ogunquit, Maine — at the corner of Shore Road & Bourne Lane.
Additional Information About the Marginal Way’s Centennial Talk at Barn GalleryWeidensaul, who has tracked birds since his youth, now contributes to research using miniature tracking devices and global datasets such as Cornell’s eBird. His current work with the Motus Wildlife Tracking System reveals real-time migratory patterns—even for hummingbirds and dragonflies.
Birds are what connected Weidensaul to Marginal Way. His first visits to Ogunquit were with “birding friends who knew it well, watching harlequin ducks and loons on blustery late-winter days.”
What advice does Weidensaul have for those entrusted to care for the Marginal Way?
“Don’t let it become too tidy or manicured,” he said. “If you do it will lose some of its charm but also its value as a habitat for all the small birds that use the thickets and nooks. Nature likes a bit of a mess.”
See barngallery.org for our full schedule of artist workshops, demonstrations, and additional gallery programs.
