Master kicks off series
AUBURN - Displaying a physical dexterity that thrilled the audience, pianist Robert DeGaetano also showed a more relaxed side as he interspersed his virtuosity with a little of the history behind the music.
DeGaetano performed Sunday in the chapel of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Auburn, the first installment of the sixth annual Piano Series sponsored by the Adams Foundation. An audience of close to 200 attended.
The Adams Foundation, based in Santa Barbara, Calif., presents such well-known pianists in smaller communities throughout the nation. Auburn natives John and Richard Contigulia, highly-accomplished pianists themselves, have been instrumental in establishing these concerts, and were especially keen on such a tradition in their hometown.
