The 18th Annual Elizabeth Dunaway Burnham Piano Festival concludes with the Student Piano Recital, showcasing the area’s best young pianists, performing on Ogunquit Performing Arts Committee’s world class Steinway piano before a live audience in a beautiful setting.
The festival, and particularly this popular event, honors the memory of Elizabeth Dunaway Burnham (“Betty”), and is inspired by her own life as a piano student, performer 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.
The founder and 1st chair of Ogunquit Performing Arts (OPA), Betty saw to it that OPA acquired its spectacular Steinway Model C Grand Piano, which still remains its greatest treasure.

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

46th Annual Student Art Show - Barn Gallery, Ogunquit
2026-05-08 - 2026-05-10
For 46 years, Barn Gallery has opened its doors each May to the youngest artists in Southern Maine — and every year, the room feels the same way. Proud. Bursting with creativity. Completely alive.
The 46th Annual Student Art Show begins with a reception on Friday, May 8 (4–6PM), and continues Saturday and Sunday, May 9 and 10, from 1 to 4PM each day. K-12 students from the coastal communities of Southern Maine will exhibit work spanning landscapes, portraits, sculpture, photography, jewelry, and more.
The 46th Student Art Show is — once again — generously sponsored by Dr. Gary Tirrell.
A Tradition That Spans Generations
For many of these students, this is the first time their work has hung in a real gallery — the same space where accomplished Maine artists have shown for generations. That experience stays with a young artist. The moment of seeing your name on the wall beside your work, watching strangers stop and look, is one that tends to travel with you.
Families have been part of this show since the beginning. Grandparents who remember bringing their own children now arrive with grandchildren in tow. Some of this year’s students are showing in the same gallery where their parents once stood, equally young, equally hopeful.
Additional InformationWhy Come
The opening reception on Friday, May 8 (4–6PM) is worth showing up for on its own. The artists are there. The work is fresh on the walls. You’ll see students who have never shown in a gallery before standing next to something they made — and that’s a particular kind of moment that the weekend hours, for all their ease, don’t quite replicate.
Saturday and Sunday (May 9 & 10, 1–4PM) are unhurried. Come back, bring someone new, take your time with the work.
