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.

A 2003 New York Foundation for the Arts Fellow in Creative Non-fiction, she taught Nonfiction Writing at Southern New Hampshire University and now helps students develop their college admissions essays through the Arthur Ashe Institute of Urban Health in Brooklyn, NY.

She lives in Portsmouth, NH with her husband, seacoast artist Russell Aharonian. Merrill is currently working on a memoir about generational alcoholism intertwining the stories of a mother’s recovery and her son’s death from the disease, bearing witness to the powerful community, enduring sense of connection and surprising moments of joy that can emerge from addiction, recovery and loss.

Friday, October 4th (at 7:30PM): Janice Weber Piano Concert (Learn More + Purchase Tickets)

PURCHASE TICKETS NOWJanice 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.

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.
LEARN MORERandall Hodgkinson: Saturday, October 12th at 7:30 p.m.Location: Barn Gallery, 3 Hartwig Lane, (off Bournes Lane or Shore Rd), Ogunquit
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.

LEARN MORE + PURCHASE TICKETSStudent 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.

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.

Vinegar Painting Workshop by Pamela Bearor-Amiralian | Ogunquit Art Association
2025-08-12
Join us at Barn Gallery in Ogunquit, Maine on Tuesday, August 12th for a “Vinegar Painting Workshop” (from 10AM-3PM) led by Ogunquit Art Association artist-member Pamela Bearor-Amiralian.
Suggested Workshop donation: $75 PLUS *materials fee $20.00.
Additional InformationCome join professional artist Pamela Bearor-Amiralian as she presents a workshop focused on bringing Vinegar Painting into the 21st century.
The workshop will be an exploration of the historical folk-art finish (Vinegar painting) used in the colonies during the 1700’s/1800’s. This painting method was popular during this time partly because of the shortage of paint coming from Europe. It was used primarily on furniture and wood decorating items in the home (doors and trims), and storage boxes. The technique was a way to imitate woodgrain and well as fantasy designs. The lack of resin can be an advantage, it allows the artist to play, manipulate until satisfied. Painted by a novice or serious painter, each piece shows the pleasure and joy this method offers.
Workshop objective:
In this workshop, students will begin by familiarizing themselves with the various materials used in folk-art painting, including artists’ pigments, learning how to handle, purchase, and store them properly. They’ll explore the techniques needed to achieve the distinctive folk-art finish and apply their skills by creating practice boards, building a portfolio of different styles for future reference. By the end of the course, they’ll be able to craft a finished piece on a Masonite board, incorporating all they’ve learned. Throughout the process, there will be opportunities to discuss their creative exploration and problem-solving. Additionally, they’ll master the use of shellac — learning that while most materials can be cleaned with water, shellac requires ammonia, which is reused in a dedicated container before a final water rinse. This hands-on experience will equip them with both the knowledge and confidence to continue their artistic journey.
All skill levels are welcome.

Vinegar Painting Workshop (w/ Pamela Bearor-Amiralian)

Tuesday, August 12th (from 10AM – 3PM)
Suggested donation: $75 PLUS *material fee $20

Preregistration recommended. Call Barn Gallery: 207-646-8400.
About The Workshop Instructor: Pamela Bearor-AmiralianCome join professional artist + educator Pamela Bearor-Amiralian as she presents a Vinegar Painting workshop at Barn Gallery in Ogunquit, Maine.
Pam’s career has spanned a variety of mediums, designs, and creative concepts. ​She has created contemporary and eclectic interior designs ranging from elegant condominiums at The Intercontinental Residences Boston to community-focused work for the Essex Art Center and Our House Lawrence.​
​Pam received her BFA from Massachusetts College of Art with post-graduate work at RISD, New Hampshire Institute of Art, and Kendall Center for the Arts. She works out of her studio in North Andover, Massachusetts.
Artist’s Statement
My background in design helps to inform all of my work. The principles of design (balance, unity, harmony, contrast, emphasis, scale, and rhythm) and elements of design (point, line, plane, texture, and color) combine together to give my art substance.
My canvases and panels blend contemporary design with vinegar paint, a late 18th century, American technique of combining artists’ pigments and apple cider vinegar with dish soap or sugar. I discovered this form of painting when studying decorative finishes, and it took hold of my imagination.
Vinegar paint provides a phenomenal degree of detail and precision. Intricate, sharp lines and patterns pop from the pigment, creating the optical illusion of depth. These patterns maintain a curious originality that is deepened by texture and the illusions of movement through out my art. These thoughtful juxtapositions work symbiotically to create a peaceful complexity. I pull from the macro view of the cosmos to the microbiology imagery in nature.
My work almost always starts from the smallest element to the largest. I’m passionate about the way this process allows the work to unfold as a meditation; shapes first emerge from a colored pencil sketch then continue to evolve through this exploratory paint process. As the vinegar dries the only thing left on the panels is the pigment. There is no suspension matter to interfere with the pigment. There is nothing between the viewer, the textures and the colors. The final works, with their intricate detail, organic or geometric shapes, and rich tones, recall life’s impressions, experiences, and relationships. My most recent panels have been a conscious connectedness to the spiritual process of meditation and the creation of art.

Barn Gallery Talk: David Schneider (sculptor) - 50th Anniversary Ogunqit Art Association Showcase Artist
2025-08-14
Join us at Barn Gallery on Thursday, August 14th (at 6 PM) for a Barn Gallery Talk by our 50th Anniversary Showcase Artist: David Schneider (sculptor).
Meet the artist, see his work, learn about his process, and ask questions.
These insightful and inspiring Gallery Talks always provide further insight into our exhibitions and give attendees the chance to hear stories + learn tips and tricks from present day juried artist-members of the Ogunquit Art Association, Maine’s Original Artists’ Group (est. 1928).
This is a FREE event and it is open to the public.
About David Schneider – SculptorThe title of my 5oth Annniversary Ogunquit Art Association Showcase at Barn Gallery is ‘David Schneider: Introspective Into A Life In Art.” My showcase exhibition highlights 31 art works in clay, bronze and digital collages – re-imaginings- that celebrate my life as an artist. Most of the pieces are from my personal collection of cherished works.
The majority of art pieces in the exhibition are of fired clay and have been done over the last forty years that I have worked as a successful artist and art professor. Considering the concept of an ‘Introspective” ( Intentionally Not a retrospective,) I looked back with wonder at the serendipitous occurrences that have had lasting affects on my life. I assembled a ‘memory/experience case’ for this exhibition that contains old photos, small gifts from friends and mementos that reflect my appreciation of my life’s journey. Recently, enamored by new digital and technical processes I have also been working in digital collages that combine two dimensional images and three dimensional forms.

Printmaking Without a Press: Direct Trace Monotypes Workshop by Jane Petschek | Ogunquit Art Association
2025-08-19
Join us at Barn Gallery in Ogunquit, Maine on Tuesday, August 19th (from 10 AM – 4 PM) for a Printmaking Without a Press: Direct Trace Monotypes Workshop led by Ogunquit Art Association artist-member Jane Petschek.
Suggested Workshop donation: $75
Additional InformationCome join professional artist Jane Petschek for her Printmaking Without a Press: Direct Trace Monotypes Workshop.
Monotypes are a kind of print that is “pulled” from a painting or drawing made on an inked metal or Plexiglas plate. Direct trace monotypes are a fun and easy way to create a unique print that has beautiful line quality similar to a soft-ground etching or charcoal drawing, and without a printing press. Your source material can be a drawing, sketch, photograph or your imagination. This process is extremely flexible and works well for those who prefer to work abstractly, spontaneously, and for those who prefer to use a reference drawing or photo.
Briefly, a direct-trace monotype is made by first rolling a thin layer of printmaking ink onto a plexiglass surface. Then, a sheet of mulberry printmaking paper is draped over the inked plexiglass. Your sketch or drawing can be layered on top of that as a guide, if you wish, and then you can “trace” your image with a pen or pencil. Or, you can draw/make marks/work abstractly or spontaneously by drawing directly on the back of the printmaking sheet. Wherever pressure is applied, ink will be transferred to the printmaking paper. Depending upon how pressure is applied, lines may appear thick or thin and areas of tone can be
developed by rubbing the back of the paper. It is easy to check the progress of your print by gently lifting the paper to observe your marks. Depending on time, we may be able to explore printing with colored inks, and/or creating “ghost prints” – transferring the negative image left on the inked plexiglass onto a mulberry sheet by hand burnishing. It should be possible for each student to make several prints
NOTE: One of the prints Jane Petschek will be showing in OAA Expressions #3 (part of the 2025 Late-Summer Art Exhibitions at Barn Gallery) is a direct-trace monotype, so visitors to the gallery can see an example of this type of print.
Materials you will need to bring to the workshop:
Your drawings, sketches or simple photographs, 8” x 10” or 6” x 8” works well for this workshop
Pencils, pens, 1-2 colored pencils, other mark-making tools (chopstick, e. g.)
Eraser, a 12” or 24” ruler (to set borders for your print; can also be used as a leaning bridge)
Tracing paper, (9” x 12” or similar works well for our format)
Easy lift Masking or Painter’s tape
Leaning Bridge – if you have one, please bring it! It is helpful to rest your hand over the print in progress to avoid unwanted marks

About Randall Hodgkinson
“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 and Boston Symphony Orchestras, the Philadelphia and Cleveland Orchestras, and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, and internationally with the Iceland Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Orchestra of Santa Cecilia in Rome. He has had successful collaborations with such well-regarded musical giants as Leonard Bernstein and Gunther Schuller.
As both 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 performed the world premier of the piano concerto of Gardner Read at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y.
He currently serves on the faculties of the New England Conservatory, the Longy School of Music of Bard College, and Wellesley College.
About Leslie Amper
“The highlight of the program was a most commanding and serious performance of Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations…She built the series in a mighty span, intensely engaged throughout.” New York Times
Leslie Amper launched her career with a critically acclaimed debut in the Carnegie Recital Hall. While still a conservatory student, she won the first annual Jordan Hall Honors Competition and was selected to play Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto #3 at her graduation ceremony from The New England Conservatory of Music. Taking advantage of a program offered through the Pittsburgh public schools for serious high school musicians, Leslie further honed her musical talents during summers at highly regarded music camps and festivals.
A winner of the National Endowment for the Arts Solo Recitalist Fellowship Grant, she performed in Boston, New York, Pittsburgh, and Washington D.C. She also toured the United States as the musical component for the Smithsonian American Art Museum exhibition 1934: A New Deal for Artists. An acknowledged scholar and practitioner of contemporary music, she is equally adept at accompanying silent film, and has compiled piano accompaniments at the Harvard Film Archives for the short films of King Vidor’s The Crowd, among others. She also performed onstage piano in Peter Sellars’ production of Chekhov’s A Seagull at the American National Theater. Leslie has continued to lecture and perform internationally in England, Italy and Austria, and at Art Museums around the country, including but not limited to the National Gallery of Art, the Norton Museum of Art. In 2020, she performed virtual concerts with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
She currently teaches at the Longy School of Music of Bard College, the New England Conservatory Preparatory Department, and Wheaton College. She has held residencies at the Universities of Washington and Arizona, and has lectured at Boston University and the University of Pittsburgh, as well as at the New Hampshire Music Festival, where she is a regular performer.

Virtuoso pianist, Jonathan Bass, brings his wide-ranging repertoire and talent to Ogunquit for the first time. Jonathan enjoys a multi-faceted career, and appears
frequently throughout the United States and around the world as soloist and chamber musician. Of his 1994 Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall debut, New York Concert Review wrote, “A technical presence to be reckoned with…soaring with a feeling of lyrical discovery.”
“Bass is everything a pianist should be: encompassing technical brilliance Without showiness, musical and emotional depth, careful thought and an architectural sense of structure. He has a huge dynamic range, and what impressed me the most about his performance was his extremely delicate and controlled pianissimo, probably the hardest thing to do well on the piano.” — Christopher Hyde, Maine Classical Beat
Program
Haydn: Sonata in C Major
Chopin: Three Mazurkas
Chopin: Sonata No. 2 in B-Flat Minor, Op. 35
Copland: Piano Variations
Ravel Suite: Gaspard de la Nuit
