BOZEMAN – The Bozeman Symphony continues its 13th season presenting world-class pianists in recital with the first performance of its 2016 piano series on Friday, Jan. 22 at 7:30 p.m.
Nationally acclaimed pianist Robert Henry will be performing on a Steinway model D grand piano at Montana State University’s Reynolds Recital Hall.
Henry is a talented performer with a sound that brings to mind the great pianists of the past, for whom beauty of tone was integral to the structure of the phrase. He has a reputation for delivering stunning performances of the most demanding repertoire and for presenting overlooked masterpieces to the public, from Bach to Babajanian.Complimenting his prowess of the piano is Henry’s aptitude for nocturnes. He has a special knack for uncovering short, romantic, compositions including one by the Russian composer Alexey Stanchinsky, written in 1907. Stanchinsky was well known in his day, but died tragically young and was largely forgotten until Henry premiered Stanchinsky’s long forgotten “Nocturne” as part of his 2010 album “Twelve Nocturnes and a Waltz.”
“It is unusual to find a piece that has yet to be recorded. Nevertheless, Alexei Stanchinsky’s forgotten ‘Nocturne’ from 1907 has somehow slipped under the radar for over 100 years,” Henry said about his discovery of the piece. “Perhaps the treacherous difficulty of this piece has scared pianists away … perhaps the suicide of the 26-year-old Stanchinsky invites an unwelcome element of macabre.”
Whatever the reason for the neglect, it is undeserved, Henry says, as colleagues and professors considered Stanchinsky potentially a greater talent than fellow classmate Rachmaninoff.
During Piano Series II, Henry will perform Franz Liszt’s “Löse, Himmel, meine Seele,” from his latest album as well as complex and challenging numbers by Haydn, Boulanger, Brahms, among others. Consistent with his reputation for premiering pieces by world-renowned composers like Brahms and Stanchinsky, Henry’s programming for Piano Series II is intentional.
Tickets are available at bozemansymphony.org or by calling the Bozeman Symphony Society at (406) 585-9774. Tickets may also be purchased at the Reynolds Recital Hall door starting at 7 p.m. the night of the performance, if they’re still available.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
$170.
