Ms. Montparker will speak about her upcoming new book, A Pianist's Journey and Homecoming: Chronicle Two, a sequel to her much-acclaimed first book, The Anatomy of a New York Debut Recital, a diary of her preparation for her recital at Carnegie Recital Hall in 1976. More than thirty years later, with three more books published, hundreds of articles, concerts and lectures behind her, Montparker returned to the same hall to give a special birthday concert. This is an account of new perspectives and reflections.

"A Pianist's Landscape"

Carol Montparker, pianist and the author of four books on music, will present a talk, with some musical offerings, and a book signing at the new Steinway center in Melville. Ms. Montparker, a Steinway Artist, will examine the ways we can create a beautiful environment (or "landscape") in which to teach and practice; to surround ourselves with inspiring stimuli: the other arts, nature, pianos-as-comforting-souls, all allowing our spirits to flourish. Ms. Montparker will also relate some anecdotes from her interviews of world-famous artists as Senior Editor of Clavier magazine for twenty years, as well as her own tales from studio and stage.
