    Sedona AZ (March 6, 2017) – This 2017 second Piano on the Rocks International Festival, “Voyage Beyond Words” celebrates music and literature from around the globe. A “Voyage Beyond Time” where music, words, sounds and colors travel beyond the frontiers of space. It will take place this month on March 31 and April 1 and 2, 2017 in Sedona.

    Of special interest will be the opportunity for our audiences to taste the richness of composer’s imagination, to hear an extract of the wonderful story of Platero y Yo with Erdely-Sayo’s music presented in Carnegie Hall. Piano on the Rocks International Festival will present masterpieces by Schubert, Debussy, Chopin, Liszt, Obradors, Scriabin, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, Bach, Bartók, Erdely-sayo and others surprises.

    20170306_Cynthia_Raim_Piano-on-the-RocksThe Festival will open at the Church of the Red Rocks under a beautiful sunset. The subsequent two concerts will be held at the Christ Lutheran Church. These three concerts will feature French pianist Helene Tysman, laureate of the Warsaw International Chopin Piano Competition; Cynthia Raim, First Prize Winner of the Clara Haskil Piano International Competition in Switzerland and the artistic director of the Festival who is also a pianist, Sandrine Erdely-Sayo — described as electrifying by the Philadelphia Inquirer.

I was at dinner at a local restaurant with a fellow community resident, whom I had always thought to be one of the most compassionate people in Sedona.
