ongoing concert series that highlights piano music as well as the relatively new piano at the Juneau Arts & Culture Center. <\/a><\/p>\nTemple is from Ashland, Oregon, and has not previously performed in Juneau.<\/p>\n
“In fact, while I’ve performed recitals internationally, this marks my first domestic trip outside the Lower 48,” Temple told the Capital City Weekly via email.<\/p>\n
Series organizer Jon Hays said he knows Temple because the two persued bachelor’s degrees at Southern Oregon University at the same time and spoke highly of Temple’s playing.<\/p>\n
Temple said his work primarily consists of lesser-known works from romantic composers and more, but a quarter of his recital will consist of original compositions. This gives the recital a sort of theme.<\/p>\n
“There is no specific theme, although choosing a group of lesser-played composers was a certain part of my thought process,” Temple said.<\/p>\n
That’s a decision encouraged by Hays, who has said he wants the series to provide a platform for music not often heard in Juneau.<\/p>\n
Works to be performed include pieces by Nikolai Medtner, Cyril Scott, Amy Beach, Frederic Chopin and three compositions by Temple.<\/p>\n
“Three Moment Musicaux of Rachmaninoff will close the program on a spirited, virtuosic note,” Temple said.<\/p>\n
But it will not be the only piece with energy.<\/p>\n
Temple said that’s one of the selling points of the planned recital.<\/p>\n
“This program has things to offer to everyone: Many of the selections are energetic or lyrical pieces that can be enjoyed by folks who may not be into classical music – the piece I’m performing by Cyril Scott was even featured in a recent video game,” Temple said. “At the same time, classical audiences will find pieces and composers that may be new for them. And of course, everyone loves Rachmaninoff.”<\/p>\n
