The annual Rosalyn Tureck Memorial Concert is happening soon at Interlochen Center for the Arts.
This recital takes place because Interlochen is home to the Rosalyn Tureck Bach Research Institute.
Tureck was an important scholar of Bach’s music in the 20th century, and everyone from Glenn Gould to William F. Buckley to Sharon Isbin sought her opinions.
In 2022, Interlochen became the home of Rosalyn Tureck’s essays, books, writings and recordings.
Another part of the Tureck Bach Research Institute is this annual recital in her honor featuring the music of Bach.
That recital is happening Wednesday, April 17 at 7:30 p.m. in Interlochen's Dendrinos Chapel and Recital Hall.
IPR met two of the pianists who will be playing Bach's music on this recital and got a preview in Studio A.
Kené Obiaya is a senior from Chicago, IL. He performed the Prelude and Fugue in D major Book 1 of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier.
Viviane Kim is a senior from Port Jefferson, NY. She performed Bach's Partita in C Minor (BWV 826).
Kim is also this year's recipient of the Rosalyn Tureck scholarship, which is awarded to a female Interlochen Arts Academy piano student.
