SUMMARY:Sara Davis Buechner
DESCRIPTION:We are so happy to welcome back Sara\, who gave our very first concert at the newly opened Wentworth Villa Architectural Heritage Museum\, on May 15th\, 2016. Ten years later\, she returns with an exciting program of Handel\, Mozart\, and Chopin\, as well as a set of colourful Spanish pieces by Federico Longás. We can guarantee that the afternoon will end\, just as it did in 2016\, with virtuosic fireworks!\n  \n\n  \nRecital Program\n\n\n\nMinuet from “Berenice”\n     transcription by Mieczyslaw Münz\n \nSonata in E flat major KV. 282\n     Adagio\n     Menuetto I – Menuetto II\n     Allegro\n \nBallade no. 3 in A flat major op. 47\nPrélude in A flat major op. post.\nWaltz in A flat major op. 69 no. 1\nIntroduction and Rondo in E flat major op. 16\n                     \nG.F.

Lauded for her “intelligence\, integrity and all-encompassing technical prowess” (New York Times)\, “thoughtful artistry in the full service of music” (Washington Post)\, and “astounding virtuosity” (Philippine Star)\, Japan’s InTune magazine sums up: “Buechner has no superior.” \nIn her twenties Ms. Buechner earned a bouquet of top prizes at the world’s premiere international piano competitions — Queen Elisabeth (Brussels)\, Leeds\, Mozart (Salzburg)\, Beethoven (Vienna)\, and Sydney. She was a Bronze Medalist of the 1986 Tschaikowsky Competition in Moscow and the Gold Medalist of the 1984 Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition. \nMs. Buechner has performed in every state and province of North America — as recitalist\, chamber musician and soloist with top orchestras like the New York Philharmonic\, San Francisco Symphony and Philadelphia Orchestra; and in venues such as Carnegie Hall\, the Kennedy Center and the Hollywood Bowl. She has toured throughout Latin and South America and Europe; and she enjoys a special following in Asia\, where she has been a featured soloist with the Sydney Symphony\, New Zealand Philharmonic\, New Japan Philharmonic and Shanghai Philharmonic\, among many others. \nShe has commissioned and premiered important contemporary scores by composers such as Michael Brown\, John Corigliano\, Ray Green\, Dick Hyman\, Vitězslavá Kaprálová\, Jared Miller\, Joaquín Nin-Culmell\, and Yukiko Nishimura. Ms. Buechner’s performance versatility extends to unique collaborations with film and dance (including tours with the Mark Morris Dance Group\, and Japanese kabuki-mime-mask dancer Yayoi Hirano). \nMs. Buechner has released numerous acclaimed recordings of rare piano music by composers such as Rudolf Friml (“a revelation” — The New York Times)\, Dana Suesse\, Joseph Lamb\, Joaquín Turina\, Miklós Rózsa\, and Ferruccio Busoni (including the world première recording of the Bach-Busoni “Goldberg” Variations). Stereophile magazine selected her Gershwin CD as “Recording of the Month\,” and her interpretation of Hollywood Piano Concertos won Germany’s coveted Deutsches Schauplatten Preis. Most recently her recorded traversal of the score to Carl Dreiser’s silent movie classic Master of the House (1925) may be heard on Criterion Collection DVD. \nSara Davis Buechner joined the faculty of Temple University’s Boyer College of Music and Dance in 2016\, after previously teaching at the Manhattan School of Music\, New York University and the University of British Columbia. She has presented masterclasses and workshops at major pedagogic venues worldwide\, adjudicated important international piano competitions\, and is also a contributing editor for Dover Publications International. In 2017 Ms. Buechner marked her 30th year as a dedicated Yamaha Artist. \nAs a proud transgender woman\, Ms. Buechner also appears as a speaker and performer at important LGBTQ events\, and has contributed interviews and articles about her own experience to numerous media outlets worldwide. \nSara is a dual American-Canadian citizen who makes her home in Philadelphia.
