Each February the Erie Chamber Orchestra performs its "Guess the Composer" concert. This is an event which is anticipated by many of our concert audience. Audience members receive a program which has names of several composers. Each composer has a number by their names which must be placed by the listed work that the orchestra performed.
There are some notes on the possible composer in the program which give the contestant an idea of who the composer might be, and a narrative on the composer is also presented to give some additional clues. The orchestra will then perform a number of works from unfamiliar and familiar composers. At the end of the concert, the conductor reviews the correct list of composers and all those concert audience members that have the right answers receive a "Music Certificate."
Konstantin Deyev - Piano Soloist
Konstantin Deyev, age 11, began his piano studies at the age of 6 with Linda Kobler. He is a High Honor Roll 6th grade student in Fairview, currently home schooling in order to devote more time to his music. Along with his fellow piano students, Konstantin hopes to perform in a recital at Steinway Hall this summer. Konstantin also studies violin with Irene Cheng. He sings with the St. Paul’s Children’s Choir, under Sharon Downey, where he was recently promoted to the fourth level. This year will mark his fifth year participating in the National Piano Teacher’s Guild Auditions, where he will present a 10-piece program. Konstantin was also chosen by Fairview Middle School to attend a weeklong conference in Washington D.C. last summer, for high achieving students. He loves to draw, and recently won the yearbook cover design contest at his school. He enjoys swimming and cross-country running. Konstantin would like to dedicate this performance to the memory of his grandmother, Elinor Roehrl.
