The St. Columba's Concert Series, 55 Vaucluse Ave., Middletown, is pleased to welcome back pianist Paul Bolles-Beaven on Sunday, May 18 at 3 p.m. for a special piano recital in the Chapel, including the world premiere of "Memories of a Forgotten March," composed by the pianist's son, William Bolles-Beaven. The program will also include the Variations in F minor of Franz Joseph Haydn and Beethoven's Piano Sonata Number 14, 'Moonlight.' Paul Bolles-Beaven, a former New York City restaurateur with Union Square Hospitality Group, fell in love with the piano playing with his toys under the family's grand piano while his father played the classical repertoire. Experimenting at an early age and beginning lessons when he was 11, Paul grew up loving music, singing in the church choir and performing as a boy soprano and then earning a BA in Music at Columbia College of Columbia University. Performing regularly in his 20's Paul performed at Music Mountain's Young Artist Series, with The Hudson Valley Philharmonic as a winner of their young artist competition, at Weil Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall and at The Newport Art Museum. When his restaurant career took off, Paul stepped away from the piano and did not perform for 25 years. Then while attending his son William's piano lesson, Paul was inspired to reclaim his love of piano and performing and has been doing so with joy, ever since. Tickets will be on sale at the door: Adults $20, Students and Children $10.
