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.

Scroll down and continue reading for additional important information…
PURCHASE TICKETS NOWAdditional InformationA Concert Extraordinaire is planned to celebrate Ogunquit Performing Arts’ 30th Annual Chamber Music Festival including an 8-member ensemble of piano and strings, and a premiere performance of newly transcribed overture by Rossini.
In recent years, OPA’s Chamber Music Festival has featured an ongoing partnership with Boston Chamber Music, which every year puts together a special trio or quartet for the Ogunquit concerts, unique to OPA.
This year, in celebration of 30 years of OPA Chamber Music Festivals, pianist/leader Randall Hodgkinson has brought together an ensemble of eight musicians (piano and seven strings), for a concert extraordinaire.
Their program will include the premiere performance of the brilliant overture to Rossini’s opera, Semiramide, transcribed by Hodgkinson especially for this occasion, and the first-ever transcription for this group of instruments!
The program will also include Mozart’s lyrical Concerto in A, K. 488, and Brahms’ warm, orchestral String Sextet in Bb, No. 1, Op. 18.
The Program:
Rossini: Overture to Semiramide for piano and string ensemble, transcribed by Randall Hodgkinson.
This popular Overture is celebrated for its dramatic tension and brilliant climaxes, often performed as a standalone concert piece. Composed in 1823, Semiramide opens with a 12-minute orchestral showcase of suspense, melodic richness, and Rossini’s signature crescendo techniques. Although it contains material from the opera, this bright Overture hardly suggests the blood and gore of the story that follows!
Mozart: Chamber version of Concerto in A, K. 488 (arranged for string quintet and piano)
One of Mozart’s finest and most lyrical concertos, this 1786 work is admired for its lyricism, emotional range, and formal perfection. It is a staple of the classical piano repertoire, frequently performed by major pianists and orchestras worldwide. Critics often single out the second movement as a sublime exemplar of Mozart’s genius for expressing deep feeling with utmost simplicity and grace.
Brahms: String Sextet in Bb, No. 1, Op. 18
The Sextet is notable for its symphonic sound, with Brahms utilizing the two cellos and two violas to create rich, dark timbres. Written in 1860, it is a masterpiece of chamber music, blending youthful romantic lyricism with mature classical structure, and is renowned for its warm, orchestral textures, tender melodies, and the expansive emotional arc across its four movements.
The Players:
Randall Hodgkinson, piano
Omar Chen Guey, violin
Alice Hallstrom, violin
Mark Berger, viola
Peter Sulski, viola
Nicholas Johnson, cello

PURCHASE TICKETS NOWAdditional InformationFred Moyer’s “Classical-Jazz” concert begins with solo classical piano music and finishes with the Fred Moyer Jazz Trio — a combination that brings the audience to its feet every time! Listeners will be delighted to hear the many connections between these two worlds. One reason the jazz fits within a classical piano recital is that Fred and friends have chosen their favorite historic recordings by trios led by such greats as Oscar Peterson, Ahmad Jamal, and Bill Evans, and have painstakingly transcribed every note. In a Classical-Jazz concert, they bring these scores to life as a chamber music ensemble would with Bach or Beethoven, infusing the music with their own vitality and interpretations. The result is a swinging celebration of the best in jazz, thrilling both classical music lovers and jazz enthusiasts.
Also at the concert: Fred’s patented MoyerCam, which allows virtually everyone in the audience to see the keyboard and hands.
Included in The Program:

Schubert Impromptu in E flat Major, Op. 90, no. 2
Grieg Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 16
The Music of Oscar Peterson, Ahmad Jamal, and Bill Evans

Exploring Vinegar Paint: Don’t know what it is? Come and explore what can be done with apple cider vinegar, artist pigment and dish soap – w/ Pamela Bearor Amiralian
2026-08-11
Join us at Barn Gallery in Ogunquit, Maine on Tuesday, August 11th, 2026 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.
Pre-registration recommended. Please sign up to reserve your spot — this class is limited in number, so everyone gets a lot of attention. Call Barn Gallery: 207-646-8400.
Additional InformationCome join professional artist Pamela Bearor-Amiralian as she presents a workshop focused on bringing Vinegar Painting into the 21st century.
I have been a professional Interior Designer and Remodeling consultant for the last 35 years. When I am not working, I am teaching and creating vinegar paint pieces plus mixed media art in my home studio in North Andover, MA
This workshop will be a creative exploration of a Historical Finish from the 1700’s. See what you can do with apple cider vinegar, artist pigment and some dish soap.
A fun way to challenge your creativity with an old technique in a new way. You will have a chance to investigate your ability to create fantasy designs. There is no right way to explore this medium, you can create amazing results on almost anything. This is a wonderful class for adults of all ages. A Great way to spend a hot summers day!
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)

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.
She was award second prize at the Danforth Museum “Off the Wall” New England show. Her work can be seen in “10 Years of the Artist Professional Toolbox”, published by the Arts & Business Council of Greater Boston.
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.

Printmaking Without a Press: Direct Trace Monotypes Workshop with Jane Petschek | Ogunquit Art Association
2026-08-18
Join us at Barn Gallery in Ogunquit, Maine on Tuesday, August 18th, 2026 (from 10 AM – 3 PM) for a Printmaking Without a Press: Direct Trace Monotypes Workshop led by Ogunquit Art Association artist-member Jane Petschek.
Suggested Workshop donation: $75
Pre-registration recommended. Call Barn Gallery: 207-646-8400.
Additional InformationI am a professional printmaker and active studio artist at Running With Scissors Art Studios in Portland Maine. I was always intrigued by art, and after retiring from an academic career in biology, I learned printmaking through continuing education classes. I love creating prints using a variety of techniques and I enjoy teaching these skills to others!
This is a fun class and I encourage all levels of art participants to join me as we explore a printmaking technique called Direct Trace Monotype that does not need a press. I will demonstrate how to set up and create a direct trace monotype, and offer guidance to help you achieve nice prints and learn this process. This class will allow you to explore a variety of materials and mark-making to create several prints and their ghosts!
Direct Trace Monotypes are a kind of print that is “pulled” from a drawing made on an inked Plexiglas plate. This art process is a fun and easy way to create a unique print that has beautiful line quality similar to a soft-ground etching or charcoal drawing. Your source material can be a drawing, sketch, photograph or your imagination. This method 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. Depending on time, we may be able to explore printing with colored inks, and create “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 unique prints.
Materials you will need to bring to the workshop:
Your drawings, sketches or simple photographs, 8” x 10” or 6” x 8” work well for this workshop
Pencils, pens, some colored pencils, other mark-making tools (chopstick, pinecone, textured papers or objects that can be pressed or rolled against a surface; charcoal paper)
Eraser, a 12” or 24” ruler (to set borders for your print; can also be used as a leaning bridge)
Drawing paper
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
Work Apron or clothes that might get inky
I will provide ink (Charbonnel water-washable ink), plexiglass, brayers, ink knives, ink palette, disk barens, and other printmaking tools
