Crazy Crow is proud to present in concert.. Dan the Piano Man!!
Oct. 1, at 7:00 P.M.
The premier performance of Crazy Crow Productions featured pianist Radoslav Lorkovic. Most Seldovians know Rad as a dynamite boogie woogie pianist and accordion player, and a fun fellow to have in the community from time to time. In fact Rad has been playing in Seldovia since 1999 and was Seldovia Arts Council's first piano performance. Nonetheless, many did not fully realize his skill as a classical pianist. Both of his Croatian Grandmothers were concert pianists and even though Rad took a tour of rock and roll, slide piano and spicy Cajun tunes before returning to his classical roots, he easily gave an inspired and elegant performance of the beautiful and mysterious classics. The evening was graced by pieces from Mozart and Bach as well as many of Radoslav's own new compositions and pieces by Dave Brubeck and Professor Longhair. Long time friends from Seldovia loved the change of pace. Thanks for being the first, Rad~~~
