Tonight at the Tulsa PAC, Choregus Productions Presents Duo Amal: A Dynamic Classical Piano Duo

Aired on Tuesday, March 29th.

On this edition of ST, we get to know the young piano virtuosos Yaron Kohlberg and Bishara Haroni, who are among the leading classical pianists of their generation in their respective homelands: Israel and Palestine. For the past few years, they have performed together as Duo Amal -- the word "amal" means "hope," by the way -- appearing pretty much all over the globe, from the Beijing Concert Hall to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Tonight, Tuesday the 29th, they will perform at the Williams Theater in the Tulsa PAC. The concert begins at 7pm and was originally scheduled to happen last week. On the program, the music of Rachmaninoff, Schubert, and others. (More about this show here.) Also on our show today, commentator Connie Cronley talks about why she has recently fallen in love with...worms...of the mail-order variety, no less.

As host of StudioTulsa, Rich has conducted roughly four thousand long-form interviews with local, national, and international figures in the arts, humanities, sciences, and government.
