Pianist Claire Black will create a musical space for imagination and reflection with works by Schumann, Korngold, Janáček, and Bortkiewicz on Oct. 13, when she’ll perform “Forests & Fairy Tales at the Charlotte Congregational church at 4 p.m. Evocative titles depict ancient myths, wilderness and weather, flora and fauna. Listeners are invited to receive this imagery —through the distinct sound world of each composer represented —for what it is, and for what it might symbolize.

This is a benefit concert jointly presented by Charlotte Congregational Church and Claire Black. Audience contributions, after expenses, will be split equally between New Community Project (to support weekly food shares) and JUMP / Joint Urban Ministry Project (to fund bus vouchers).
