Concert and talk presented by Richard Alston, masterful pianist and recitalist on Saturday, February 3rd at 7:30 PM at The Waterworks.

Richard C. Alston is an elegant and exciting virtuoso pianist who has garnered international praise for his passion and technical keyboard mastery.  His charming and charismatic personality warms audiences and Richard is known for his diverse repertoire and commitment to showcasing historical works by Afro-American and Afro-European composers.

In recent years, Richard Alston has particularly drawn the attention of the musical world, educators, and college and university students for bringing awareness to the great contributions to classical music by composers of African descent. Richard not only performs exquisite piano works of these composers that remain to this day tragically relatively known to the larger public but has also delighted audiences with musicology lectures and master classes in his celebrated series: Classically Black: Composers of African Descent.
