    Piano on the Rocks International Festival was created in 2016 on the initiative of Duo MusicAleph, by pianist Sandrine Erdely-Sayo and narrator Elizabeth Peña, who share a common passion for music, literature, poetry and for the magical city of Sedona, Arizona. This festival brings renowned artists and competition winners to the City of Light. This festival explores the interconnection between solo piano literature, storytelling and literature. Its mission is to create a fusion between music and literature: to explore literature through music and music through literature, to offer musical performances of the highest quality that are accessible to and enjoyable by all, and to build bridges across diverse cultures.

    Offering a wealth of variety, the 2020 repertoire will include compositions from the eighteenth through the twentieth centuries. Audiences will hear renowned musicians perform works by Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, Liszt, Mozart, as well as an extract of “For the Love of Bees” by composer Anna Rubin. Actress Pamela Fields will tell the story of the magical powers of the Honeybee. Navajo classical pianist, Connor Chee, will present several of his compositions which will highlight the richness of his Navajo heritage. Elizabeth Peña will present two poems of “Platero y Yo”, the story of a small donkey who lived with his poet master in the village of Moguer in Spain. Pianist Sandrine Erdely-Sayo will perform pieces by Chopin and Liszt as well a Spanish music. Soprano Barbara Di Toro will open the festival with “You’ll Never Walk Alone” from Carousel.

    “We have been very lucky to be able to present the Festival despite this pandemic”, says Artistic Director Sandrine Erdely-Sayo, “and this difficult time makes us realize even more of the importance of the social, political and psychological functions of music.”

    Sedona, AZ — A cottage industry on steroids has erupted across the United States, fueled by the political firestorm around immigration and the logistical nightmare of enforcing it. President Donald Trump returned to power with the singular focus of cracking down on illegal immigration. The country is watching an old issue swell into an industrial-scale operation—an expensive, chaotic, and morally fraught machine that’s straining every gear in the federal system.
