Ann Cummings, pianist

What is fear? Where does it come from? How does one cope with fear? Ann Cummings answers these questions with her heart-wrenching program of Inside the Music, Who says love isn't dangerous? In this program Cummings celebrates the work of Franz Liszt and his flair for composing works of geat emotional intensity. Wearing different masks for each musical selection, Cummings delivers the transcendental experience: love, its loss, and its heroic resurrection. Cummings' multi-media piano recital is romanticism at its best. The music of Franz Liszt and Cummings' daring presentation make this an exciting program that you won't want to miss!

...please forgive me for not being more sociable at your concert this afternoon. At the time that the opportunity presented itself to speak...the feelings I had were too intense and too valuable to mess with.
