Listen to Dr. David Erb describe the concert and philosophy behind it here!
Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 21st at 2:00 p.m, at the Moscow Church of the Nazarene! That is the afternoon that the Logos Dads present:
The Logos Beethoven Benefit
Classical Music & Classical Education in Concert
An afternoon showcasing all of the hard work of the Logos students throughout the year in restoring the two pianos. Dr. David Erb is producing an unforgettable concert of classical music featuring the restored pianos, the Logos Choir, Logos student performances, along with the NSA choir, and professional musicians from around the community joining forces to bring you a finale of Beethoven's mighty Fantasy for Piano, Chorus, and Orchestra in C minor, op.80! We will begin the event with a video presentation of all of the children's involvement throughout the year with the piano restorations, and end the concert by auctioning off the two pianos to the highest bidders. All proceeds will go towards the music program at Logos School!

John Ahern will will be performing the 1st movement of the mighty Waldstein piano sonata and the finale of the afternoon, Beethoven's Chorale Fantasie. John began studying piano when he was 4 years old. From 6 down to 18, he has competed in an annual MTNA sonatina festival in Grand Junction, CO, playing various sonatas of Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann, and Prokofiev. In 2009, he was finalist and runner-up in the Grand Junction Symphony Orchestra Young Artist Competition with Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini and won prizes in the Festival for Creative Pianists in improvisation, technicality, and composition. Just in case you had him pegged as a Classical musician, he did take jazz piano as well and has subsequently provided some low-key (and probably off-key) ambiance for people enjoying entrees. As a part-time student at New Saint Andrews College, he is involved in a student-initiative performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore with Blue Milk productions. John plays pipe organ and will be studying it at Stanford University under Robert Huw Morgan in the fall of 2012. He hopes to pursue a doctorate in musicology and, eventually, to teach music history, theory, and composition.
