Ghindin to perform concert in Jamestown
Submitted Photo
Internationally-celebrated artist Alexander Ghindin will perform in Jamestown on Friday, for the Jamestown Concert Association.
Rarely in life does one attend a concert which leaves the listener feeling thrilled to the very core. The last time it happened for me was in November of 2008, when Russian pianist Alexander Ghindin performed in the auditorium of Jamestown High School as part of the concert series of the Jamestown Concert Association. Ghindin is coming back to town on Friday. I strongly suspect he’ll be just as thrilling this time. This time, he’ll perform in St. Luke’s Episcopal Church at the intersection of Main and Fourth Streets in downtown Jamestown. I’ve been asked about this concert by people in Buffalo who planned to attend, so I know it will be a full house. St. Luke’s is a beautiful site for a concert but is fairly small for the audience which should be attending this performance. If you have a season ticket to JCA or to the Warren Concert Association, you already have a ticket to his performance.
