SUMMARY:Keys Across America with Mackenzie Melemed
LOCATION:Mechanics Hall
DESCRIPTION:Keys Across America explores the rich diversity of American pia
 no music\, from the lyricism of Amy Beach and Edward MacDowell to the bold
  voices of Florence Price\, Aaron Copland\, Ned Rorem\, and Louis Moreau G
 ottschalk. At the heart of the recital is a tribute to composers of the Se
 cond New England School—Amy Beach\, Edward MacDowell\, and Arthur Foote
 —whose music helped shape a distinctly American musical identity. As a W
 orcester County native\, it is especially meaningful to celebrate New Engl
 and's enduring contribution to our nation's musical heritage. The program 
 also features two recently commissioned works by Laura Kaminsky and Avner 
 Dorman. Throughout the performance\, Melemed will share brief commentary f
 rom the stage\, offering historical context and stories behind the music t
 o create an engaging concert experience in his signature style. Launched i
 n 2025\, Keys Across America continues through the 2027–28 season\, and 
 will reach more than 50 cities in over 30 states. Worcester County native 
 Mackenzie Melemed has established an international career distinguished by
  performances of imagination\, depth\, and virtuosity. Recipient of the 20
 22 Avery Fisher Career Grant\, he has appeared as soloist with orchestras 
 including The Philadelphia Orchestra and the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchest
 ra\, and has performed in leading concert halls and festivals throughout N
 orth America\, Europe\, and Asia. A graduate of The Juilliard School\, whe
 re he studied with Robert McDonald and Emanuel Ax\, Melemed is a Steinway 
 Artist. He has also performed at the White House and is increasingly recog
 nized for thoughtful programming that pairs beloved repertoire with lesser
 -known works. Now based in Finland\, he continues to perform international
 ly while maintaining close ties to New England. His current Keys Across Am
 erica tour reflects his exploration of the rich and varied tradition of Am
 erican piano music.\n\nBoletos: https://www.purplepass.com/events/383063-k
