Join us for an Afternoon with Steinway featuring Alan Weinberg, Professor of Music at Columbia College.

Of his New York debut recital, Bernard Holland of The New York Times wrote, “what really made Weinberg’s piano playing pleasurable was his obvious pleasure in the doing of it,” and “a talent for converting joy received into joy transmitted.” He also received critical acclaim in The State newspaper for his debut performance in Columbia – “Weinberg is a performer of perception and artistry, and his debut merited its standing ovation.” The Columbia Record said, “Weinberg seemed perfectly attuned not just to the mood changes of each movement, but also to the subtler ones within each. If you went to the concert feeling bad, it made you feel good. If you went feeling good, it made you feel euphoric.”

His accompanist Allison received her Bachelor and Master of Music degrees from the University of South Carolina, after obtaining an Associate of Arts degree from Anderson Junior College.  She was the 1988 regional piano performance winner of the Music Teachers National Association competition and has performed with the University of South Carolina Symphony Orchestra. Allison is currently the pianist for St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Irmo.  She also is the accompanist for the Palmetto Mastersingers and the staff accompanist at Columbia College.
