Anna-Maria Kellen Concert Hall at Third Street Music School

Departmnet Chair, Joan Forsyth, brings Third Street piano faculty together for an epic performance of Frederic Rzewski's monumental piano work, The People United Will Never Be Defeated!, 36 Variations on a Chilean Folk Song (1975), based on the Chilean protest anthem "¡El Pueblo Unido Jamás Será Vencido!".

This hour-long masterpiece, a major 20th-century piano work, explores revolutionary themes through intricate variations, incorporating extended techniques, political allusions, and contrasting styles, often seen as a modern counterpart to Bach's Goldbergs or Beethoven's Diabelli Variations.
