Pianist John Covelli collaborates with the Dave Eggar Quartet

By |

Pianist John Covelli first met cellist Dave Eggar and his quartet when they performed for WSKG’s Expressions.  Each member has a multifaceted career outside of the quartet, so it took a long time to arrange this concert.  It features music by Busoni, Chopin, Corigliano, Gershwin, Paganini, and Robert Schumann.  The concert takes place on Sunday, June 28th at 2pm in the Schorr Family Firehouse Stage, the corner of Corliss Avenue and Willow Street in Johnson City. http://stream.publicbroadcasting.net/production/mp3/wskg/local-wskg-1040121.mp3
