Music with the Mayor!
2023-02-11 19:30 - 21:30 | Community Music School, 775 West Main Street, Trappe, PA, 19426, United States
Join us for a very special night of music as Trappe’s own Mayor, Matthew G. Wismer entertains and delights audiences with piano repertoire that includes classical favorites and personal arrangements of contemporary pop songs that you love. From Romantic and Relaxing, to Showpieces and Encores, Matthew Wismer plays the music everyone loves and instantly recognizes, with the feeling, flair and authority. Matthew is the owner and operator of 200 acre Northern Star Farm of Trappe, and two term Mayor of Trappe Borough. He is the product of a musical family that has produced accomplished pianists, organists, accordionists and choral directors spanning several generations. Matthew studied under the late concert pianist, Paul Manzini. With his great knowledge of musical history, theory and composition, as well as in-depth analytical instruction, Matthew, under Manzini’s nine year tutelage, would receive an extensive private education in the study of the world’s finest piano music. Of all the exceptional talent that passed through his studio, Manzini often said that he was the proudest of Matthew. Matthew credits Paul Manzini for having had the most significant impact on his early musical life. In addition, he cites a keen interest in the life of concert pianist, Paderewski and the popular pianist, Liberace, two performers who have influenced his style of playing.
Please join us for a complimentary wine and cheese reception as we celebrate the opening of gallery artist Cheryl Hart before the concert at 6:30PM!
