Yesterday, Austrian piano manufacturer Bösendorfer – maker of the piano that sits on the stage at the Rothschild Performing Arts Center – brought German pianist Jan Jiracek von Arnim to the Patil Theater to deliver a very special master class to Harker students. An award-winning performer and professor at the University for Music and Performing Arts Vienna, Jiracek von Armin heard performances from Harker students Andrew Semenza, grade 12, and Jessica Jiang, grade 10. He discussed their interpretations of the pieces they played, offering advice on how to improve their respective techniques.
