Southern Utah University, Cedar City, Utah: A versatile performer in various genres of music, pianist Dr. Christian Bohnenstengel will be giving a faculty recital presented by Southern Utah University’s Department of Music. The recital starts at 7:30pm on Monday, September 10th in the Thorley Recital Hall within SUU’s Music Building. The performance is free and open to the public. Praised as "...A master of contrasts..." (Aalener Nachrichten) with the ability to "...put the audience into a state of sheer awe..." (Gmünder Tagespost), Dr. Bohnenstengel is an internationally-renowned musician, having previously performed in South America and Europe.
For his recital, Dr. Bohnenstengel has selected a program featuring classical piano repertoire including Mozart’s Fantasia in D minor, K. 397, Beethoven’s Piano Sonata in C-sharp minor, Op. 27/2 "Moonlight Sonata" and Chopin’s Scherzo No. 1 in B minor, Op. 20.
Dr. Christian Bohnenstengel received his Bachelor of Arts degree in piano performance from Missouri Western State University. After earning his Master of Music and Doctor of Musical Arts degrees from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), he received travel grants from the UNL Hixson-Lied Endowment to study and perform at the Ameropa Chamber Music Festival in Prague, and to study with Christoph Lieske at the Internationale Sommerakademie Mozarteum in Salzburg. His master class credits include studies with pianists Rita Sloan, Blanca Uribe, Ann Schein, and Murray Perahia.
He was recently featured as soloist in Mozart's Concerto in E-flat Major for Two Pianos, as pianist in a chamber production of Gian Carlo Menotti's The Old Maid and the Thief and as organist in a performance of John Rutter's Gloria. His avid interest in jazz music has led to collaborations with saxophone player Tom Herb and German trumpet player Christian Eberhard during the past year.
