Janet Ahlquist performs April 6 in Casper


Janet Ahlquist, recipient of a 1998 Wyoming Governor’s Arts Award, will perform on Sunday, April 6, 4 p.m., at the First United Methodist Church in Casper.

Here’s additional information from the ARTCORE web site about Janet and her performance:

Janet Ahlquist has performed in numerous solo and chamber music recitals in such venues as Lincoln Center, Carnegie Recital Hall, Library of Congress, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Rockefeller Mansion, and the French Embassy. Internationally, she has performed in Russia, Norway, France, and Portugal.

Ahlquist is an adjunct faculty member at Immaculata University, performs as a soloist, and frequently joins musicians of the Bryn Mawr Chamber Music Society. She recently presented lecture-recitals at Temple University and Duquesne University. She performed to a standing-room only crowd in a concert sponsored by Steinway of New York and Philadelphia.

For the twenty-fifth birthday of the Casper Chamber Music Society, for which Janet Ahlquist was the artistic director for ten years, she looks forward to collaborating with local musicians for the Beethoven Piano Quintet in E-Flat and to performing Chopin’s Twenty-four Preludes. She performed them at the French Embassy with the resulting review, “A large audience at the French Embassy in Washington D.C. was thrilled by Ahlquist’s sensitive, brilliant performance of Chopin’s 24 Preludes.” She is performing and recording them Sept. 21 at Immaculata University, and they will be on a new CD with Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with the Symphony and the Gershwin 3 Preludes. She is also playing Rachmaninoff for the Scriabin Society of America in New York City at Steinway Hall in October.
