An Ithaca College Pianist Headlines the Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes Concert this Weekend

The Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes welcomes pianist Benjamin Pawlak as soloist in Franz Liszt's Piano Concerto No.1. Ben is a native of Horseheads and is currently a senior at Ithaca College and also plays viola.  He tells us about growing up and having to decide between the two,  and how he and Maestro Shimada decided on the Liszt for this week's concert.  The program also includes 'The Planets' by Gustav Holst and the 'Star Wars Overture' by John Williams.https://wskg.org/audio/pawlak.mp3 Photo credit: Benjamin Pawlak
