If you're in Richmond this weekend, I highly recommend going to a free concert by a good friend of mine, Dr. Lloyd Arriola. Lloyd is a graduate of Peabody and Juilliard, and was also the best man at my wedding. He currently lives in New York where he does all sorts of musical work from solo performances to coaching opera singers to directing musicals.
Lloyd's musical reach is very broad. He has had an interest in obscure Romantic repertoire of the years. He also performs Beethoven's "Hammerklavier" Sonata, which is the largest of Beethoven's Sonatas. In addition, he is an advocate for new music.
He has performed internationally in Greece, Austria and the Phillipines, and has pursued studies with great pianists such as Alexis Weisenberg, Paul Badura-Skoda, and Leslie Howard.
His program this Sunday will consist of many familiar favorites, including Gershwin's Three Preludes and Rhapsody in Blue.
The concert will be at 7:00 PM at Woodland Heights Baptist Church which is in the 600 block of West 31st St.
I hope to see you there!
