Professor Plays the Classics
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Professor Jura Margulis, a world renowned pianist, will play an evening of piano classics and raise philanthropic awareness for the United Way, with a selection of Bach, Chopin and Brahms from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Monday, Feb. 19, at Pomfret Honors Quarters on the University of Arkansas campus.
Margulis is a professor music in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences. His past orchestral appearances include performances with the Russian National Orchestra at the Hollywood Bowl, the Montreal Symphony Orchestra under Charles Dutoit, the Sudwestrundfunk Orchestra, the National Orchestra of Venezuela and the Prague Symphony Orchestra. The United Way will also be present to educate the audience on its mission and goals.
"What is there more meaningful and enjoyable to do than to attend a special performance for enjoyment and for philanthropy on President's Day,” said Tom Zhang, a freshman biochemistry major at the University of Arkansas and the project manager of piano classics. “Piano classics and the United Way are committed to the collaborative effort of helping children succeed and alleviating destitution in Northwest Arkansas. We want to make this a special evening that people around the community will be fond of for years to come."
Parking will be available in lots 60 and 62, and guests are asked to enter Pomfret Honors Quarters through the south entrance (adjacent to the circle drive). Admission is free and everyone is welcome. To RSVP, please visit http://pianoclassics.co.nr/ or contact Kathryn Austin at 479-575-3127.
