Pianist to perform at concert series Feb. 2 in St. Charles

The St. Charles Public Library's Sunday Concert Series continues at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 2, with a performance by Kourosh Dini.

Dini is a classically trained pianist exploring a calm, organic path of writing, mimicking nature. His interest lies in the discovery of various emotions in phrases in the baroque era or the present day. He has written scores for short films, both recorded and live.

This event is part of the Library's Sunday Concert Series, featuring a wide variety of live musical performances. This performance is funded through donations to the St. Charles Public Library Foundation. The public is welcome, and the concert is free to attend.

On Feb. 16, the series will feature "Damsels and Divas: A Musical Revue" at 2 p.m. From Leonard Bernstein to Sara Bareilles, from classic to modern, from damsels to divas, soprano AnDréa James and pianist Valerie Heinkel-Bollero will collaborate on this recital.

They explore some of the great classics of the musical theater genre as well as many of the new pieces to currently grace the stage. Romantic or heart-rendering, glitzy or witty, triumphant or tragic, these songs have one thing in common: they move you.

The St. Charles Public Library is located at 1 S. Sixth Ave. in St. Charles. For more information, visit www.scpld.org or call (630) 584-0076.
