History

The SECOND SUNDAY CONCERT SERIES was conceived by church member Gary R. Klein in 2001.  The first concert began with a four-hand piano concert featuring Mr. Klein and Russian-born pianist, Eugene Feigen.  Since that time, the Series has progressed with artists and performers ranging from jazz, to the now 21st century compositions of the Long Island Composers Alliance, to fabulous concerts showcasing young concert artist winners from the Concert Artists Guild.  We have been privileged to be hosts to some of the finest performers in the world.  Particularly memorable was a concert performed by Soo Bae, a young Korean cellist, who, after winning the Concert Artists Guild competition in 2005 and the Adam International Cello Festival & Competition (New Zealand) in 2006, was awarded a three-year loan of the ca. 1696 Boujour Stradivari cello, the most valuable instrument in the Musical Instrument Bank – valued at nearly 8 million dollars.  Those of us who were privileged to hear her concert that day had an unforgettable musical experience – artist and instrument became one and music poured out of both.

We have heard many groups, soloists, and all varieties of instruments.  The Long Island Composers Alliance has featured new music concerts for the past five years and a favorite sound emanates from the Theremin.    The audience is always entertained by the haunting sounds and personality-filled presentation by Rob Schimmer, a foremost expert on this instrument.
